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
