The Dialect and Place Names of Shetland

During the years 1893-94-95, Mr Jakob Jakobsen, Cand. Mag. Of the University of Copenhagen, conducted an exhaustive series of investigations into the remains of the old Norse language in Shetland. Some of the te sults of his enquiries are embodied in these two Lectures, which were cast in a popular form, and were delivered at Lerwick and other places in Shetland before the author's return to Denmark. Other results of his in vestigations are contained in his Thesis entitled, Det Noronne Sprog paa Shetland, which was accepted by the University of Copenhagen as entitling him to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
