Preface to the electronic edition

Erik Gustav Geijer had greater plans, but only wrote three volumes of Svenska folkets historia (1832–1836). These were translated to German by Sven Peter Leffler (Geschichte Schwedens, 1832–1836), to French by Johan Fredrik af Lundbad (Histoire de Suède, 1839) and then (from Swedish, the title page claims) to English by John Hall Turner in 1845, as presented here. This book was digitized in December 2007 at the University of Toronto by the Internet Archive, from where the scanned images in September 2020 were copied to Project Runeberg and our own OCR text added.

This volume was scanned elsewhere and made available by the Internet Archive, from where the scanned images were copied to Project Runeberg. We very much appreciate that they have made this possible and want to encourage other digital library projects to follow their example. Read more about Project Runeberg's image sources.
