Preface to the Electronic Edition
As mentioned in the printed preface, this 1935 book is an English
translation of selections from different works by the author. Just
before 1935 were published the 10th edition of "Sveriges historia för
folkskolan" (Sweden's history for primary schools) and also a new
edition of "Sveriges historia i sammanhang med Danmarks och Norges"
(Sweden's history in connection with Denmark's and Norway's).
Apparently, the book was digitized in November 2003 as part of the
Million Books project or Universal Digital Library, uploaded in
October 2006 to the Internet Archive, from where the scanned images
and OCR text in November 2023 were copied to Project Runeberg.
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.
