A Danish novelist and publicist; born in Vordingborg, Oct. 26, 1819; died at Copenhagen, Aug. 15, 1887. He entered journalism when quite young, with recognized power till the government censorship interfered with him. "A Jew" and "Homeless" are among the novels to which his international reputation is due. His later years were spent in an exhaustive investigation into the state of public education throughout Europe.
