Old Ipsen Mss.

A very remarkable discovery has
just come TO light in the finding OF
important Ibsen manuscripts, written
previous to 1864. The papers include
a complete epic poem of some 10000
words, in which are to>be seen ideas
which evidently were the basis for
many of his later dramas, especially
for Brand" one of his greatest plays.
The manuscripts had been left in
Rome at the Scandinavian association
when Ibsen left that city In 1864.
They were put away and forgotten.
and when the society moved away
they were then sold with lot Of rub
bish. A Dane. Pontopiddean, found
them some years ago in an anti.
quarian's shop and purchased them as
curiosities Afterward he returned To
Copenhagen, where he died, bequeath.
ing the manuscripts TO the Royal Il.
brary upon condition that they be pub.
lished by Prof. Carl Larsen. Ibsen'a
illness prevented Larsen from consult.
ing with him. and 1t is only now after

from his heirs has been secured.
