*Sir Walter Scott urged the English publication and was likely influenced by this work.

Fox's obituary cites a poem by Southey and talks of his Northern travel. (Poem found in Nathan Drake's literary hours).

Review of Adam Oehlenschläger's Hakon Jarl (pg. 73-89).

 By Sir William Jackson Hooker

Mentions the entire Northern area of the European continent in some form. Makes connections between Ossianic bards and Norse figures.

Character *Starkodder, may be the "Starkother" Felicia Hemans refers to in "The Sword of the Tomb: A Northern Legend"

"In Scandinavia and Germany the Celtic nature of the setting was ignored or not understood, and Ossian was regarded as a Nordic or Germanic figure who became a symbol for nationalist aspirations."

The ballads in this volume are translated from the Works of Oehlenslæger, (a poet who is yet living, and who stands high in the estimation of his countrymen,) and from the Kiæmpé Viser, a collection of old songs, celebrating the actions of the ancient heroes of Scandinavia.
