_"Keiser Glomer."_--I have a Danish play entitled _Keiser Glomer, Frit
oversatte af det Kyhlamske vech C. Bredahl_: Kiobenhavn, 1834. It is a
mixture of tragedy and farce: the former occasionally good, the latter poor
buffoonery. In the notes, readings of the old MS. are referred to with
apparent seriousness; but _Gammel Gumba's Saga_ is quoted in a manner that
seems burlesque. I cannot find the word "Kyhlam" in any dictionary. Can any
of your readers tell me whether it signifies a real country, or is a mere
fiction? The work does not read like a translation; and, if one, the number
of modern allusions show that it is not, as it professes to be, from an
ancient manuscript.
