[114] The story appears, along with other statements unsupported or flatly contradicted by later investigations, in Atterbom’s address before the Swedish Academy May 29, 1840 (Proceedings 20, 82-202), von Beskow’s memoir of 1859 (pp. vi and vii), and Georgii’s “Biographical Sketch” of 1854 (p. 2). On the contrary see Törngren in Tidskrift i Gymnastik, 4, 415 (1896), Westerblad 1904 pp. 7-12, and Norlander in Lunds Universitets Årsskrift, 9 (1913).

[115] The chief authority for this Copenhagen period is E. C. Werlauff’s “Bidrag til P. H. Lings Biographie,” in Frey: Tidskrift för Vetenskap och Kunst (Upsala), 1848, pp. 92-105. Werlauff (1781-1871), later well known as historian and teacher in the University, was employed in the Royal Library at the time of Ling’s sojourn in Denmark and became his close friend. See also Westerblad 1904, pp. 13-21.
