Reading edition
Staring, Voormaals en Thans, p. 152. Kohl states that the peninsula of Diksand on the coast of Holstein consisted, at the close of the last century, of several islands measuring together less than five thousand acres. In 1837 they had been connected with the mainland, and had nearly doubled in area.—Inseln u. Marschen Schlesw. Holst., iii, p. 262.
