Excerpt from Sweden and the Swedes I came as consul to Gothenburg - one of the thirty war consuls sent out by Abraham Lincoln. It was here I first learned to know what a noble, gener ous, hospitable race the Swedes really are - the worthy descendants of the soldiers of Gustavus Adolphus and the boys in blue of Charles XII. On my return to America it grieved me to find how little my countrymen knew of the Swedes, and it became one of the chief aims of my life to make their name and fame better understood in my native land. This result I endeavored to accomplish by means of lectures, magazine and newspaper articles, and translations; but I was deterred from publishing a completed work on Sweden and the Swedes for fear I could not do them justice.

Excerpt from Pictures of Swedish Life, or Svea and Her Children Other svea is a far-off cousin to Britannia and Columbia. This interesting old lady has evidently discovered the fountain of perpetual youth. In full vigor and beauty she reigns in her quiet home in the North, and keeps up her ancient customs in an aristo cratic and independent way quite her own. Her family is small, but she takes as good care of her few children as any old-fashioned educator can and thinks, no doubt, in her heart, that her crows are the whitest, though the brood may not be as large as some others she could mention. The writer has lived many years in Svea's dominions, and is well acquainted with her fireside doings, and so ventures to chat about them with well-loved friends over the water.

Excerpt from The History of the Swedes It has been the aim of the present translator, in essaying an English version of the only work deserving to be regarded as the standard of Swedish history, to present a faithful and accurate image of the style of the original; to render as exactly as possible every shade of meaning and variety of diction. A translation should be close without stiffness, free and spirited without paraphrastic license. Whether these objects have been attained in the present case it is for others to determine. I by no means assent to a theory often maintained, which supposes true translation to be impossible, because nice distinctions of meaning, and still more idiomatic forms of expression, are necessarily evanescent, and leave but a caput mortuum to mock the toil of conversion. Believe it to be possible to reproduce in our language a just presentment of any prose composition in another; and to transfuse the ideas in similar diction with out loss of force or grace. If the attempt fail, it must be ascribed not to its impracticability, but to an imperfect command of the resources of the English tongue in the individuah With the noblest and most comprehensive of modern languages as our instrument, it must be possible to find, even in the most difficult cases, (of course those springing from some radical difference in the things symbolized are excepted, ) expressions of equivalent significancy, and more or less identical in the verbal meaning. Some changes of collocation and structure must be permitted. Whenever doubt was felt as to the true sense of the original, recurrence has been had to the Ger man version which, though containing many minor inaccuracies 5, avoided in the following pages, fulfils by its general fidelity and vigour of style all the essentials of a translation. In some passages of the Swedish original variations from the German are observable, apparently proceeding from the author's own pen; in these the former has been followed. The notes, it will be seen, are numerous; but they are never necessary to the text, and should be regarded, like those of Gibbon, in the light of corroborative matter, which may be read or not at pleasure. A few turning on minute topographical or technical points (chiefly in Chapters II. And X.) have been omitted or abridged, as possessing only domestic in terest; those supplied by the translator are brief explanations of points on which many English readers might possibly feel at a loss. It was originally intended to give a map of Scandinavia; but the idea was abandoned, because maps are now-a-days easily procured, and maps of Germany, Poland, and Russia would have been scarcely less necessary.

Excerpt from Charles XII of Sweden On what foundation stands the warrior's pride, How just his hopes let Swedish Charles decide; A frame of adamant, a soul of fire, No dangers fright him, and no labours tire; O'er love, o'er fear, extends his wide domain, Unconquer'd lord of pleasure and of pain; No joys to him pacific sceptres yield, War sounds the trump, he rushes to the field; Behold surrounding kings their pow'rs combine, And one capitulate, and one resign; Peace courts his hand, but spreads her charms in vain; 'Think nothing gain'd, ' he cries, 'till nought remain, 'On Moscow's walls till Gothic standards fly, 'And all be mine beneath the Polar sky.' The march begins in military state, And nations on his eye suspended wait; Stem Famine guards the solitary coast, And Winter barricades the realms of Frost; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
