Lund, ex officina Berlingiana, 1817. 8:o. XL,135 pp. Mid-19th-century half calf, worn, with gilt spine. Sprinkled edges. Rear joint starting at top. Front flyleaf torn off. Title somewhat browned in corners, slight spotting on first pages. Bookplate and acquisition note of Nils Fries.Krok Bibliotheca botanica suecana 28. Carl Adolph Agardh (1785-1859) is widely held as the founder of scientific algology and his classification system for algae is presented for the first time in this work. Shortly thereafter he started to develop a more comprehensive system for algae, but only two volumes of that work (1820 and 1828) were published, and it was never completed. The printed dedication in the book is addressed to Agardh's patron and friend, the Swedish foreign minister Lars von Engeström.

The elegant extra engraved title leaf includes a portrait of Gustavus Adolphus, among other things. The royal historian Widekindi wrote his history of Gustavus Adolphus by official order. In 1676, when the manuscript was finished, the Swedish government made a contract with Wankijf to print the book, but before the work was completed both he and the author were dead. Wankijf's widow did not have the book ready for sale until 1691, at which point the Russian and Danish envoys in Stockholm protested against the way history was presented in Widekindis text. Their complaints were noted by the government, and despite the fact that the work had been delivered sheet by sheet to the govenmental offices for proof-reading, inspection and approval, the entire available edition was confiscated and brought to the royal archives. Out of 830 printed copies 763 were confiscated, seemingly without any compensation to the printer. Fale Henrik Burensköld (1739-79) was lord chamberlain and received an inheritance in 1763 from Conrad Lohe, on the condition that he added the latter's surname to his own. Gustaf Adolf Sparre (1802-86) was Sweden's minister for justice in 1848-56. After his resignation as minister he was appointed president of Svea hovrätt [court of appeal] and ended his career as marshal of the realm from 1864 until his death. He also devoted time to research in Swedish medieval manuscripts, focusing in particular on the genealogy of the nobility, and built a large book collection which was acquired after his death by his relative Carl Trolle-Bonde on Trolleholm in Skåne.

Text part with imprint "De l'imprimerie de Cox, Fils, & Baylis, Great queen street", while the plates were most likely printed in France. The author and draughtsman Belanger travelled in the Scandinavian countries in the autumn of 1798. Among the places they visited were Helsingborg, Trollhättan, Stockholm, Åland, Åbo and parts of northern Finland. The plates are mostly landscape views from the Finnish part of Lapland, but in the beginning there are also views of the castle Kronborg, including parts of Helsingborg and Helsingör, the waterfalls at Trollhättan, and Stockholm seen from the island of Långholmen.

It is believed that it - to a certain extent - contributed to the removal of contemporary prejudices against eating mushrooms.

Ambrosius Svenonis Nidelberg (died 1689) translated a few other travel books, which were printed by Kankel. Johann Kankel (1614-87) was born in Pomerania and came to Sweden in 1664. From 1666 until his death he managed Per Brahe the younger's private printing office on Visingsö in Lake Vättern in southern Sweden. 1674 was his most productive year and all in all Almquist lists seven works from this year, comprising around 640 printed pages.

The answers to Hiärne's questions to civilian and church authorities regarding the mineral assets of Sweden were gathered in "Den korta anledningen/ til åthskillige malm och bergarters/ mineraliers och jordeslags &c. efterspörjande och angifwande/ beswarad och förklarad", published 1702-06. Anders Gabriel Duhre (ca 1680-1739) was a private tutor in mathematics, among other things, and an early advocate for utilitarianism in Sweden. A constant optimist, Duhre devoted much of his time to increasingly fantastic ideas. Among his suggestions was the instituting of an Economic Society that would run all economic activity in the country on behalf of the state - a utopian vision that in parts reflected platonic ideas and foreboded modern communism. Warmholtz 9152 for the last work. With the aim of strenghtening education in the realm and making its only university self-supporting, Gustavus Adolphus donated a number of estates in Uppland and Västmanland to Uppsala University. The yearly yield at the time was 10350 thalers, to which were added the tithes from eight parishes. These means financed the main part of the university's activities well into the 19th century and the donation remains an important source of income. Kort och tydlig underrättelse om magnetismen.

Pritzel Thesaurus literaturae botanicae 6865. Lacking, as often, the separately printed appendix by Ekeberg. The linnaean disciple Pehr Osbeck (1723-1805) left Sweden in 1750 as chaplain on the East Indiaman Prins Carl and returned home in 1752; five years later he published his "Dagbok". The work is inspired by Linnaeus' Swedish travels, which means that street life and economic matters is given as much space as natural history. Osbeck gives a comprehensive description of Canton and China - the first published by a Swedish writer - and praises the "lovely moral" of Confucius. The text also contains a generous amount of plant lists and plant descriptions in Latin, as well as sections on birds and fishes. At the end of the work are reprinted seven letters from Olof Torén (1718-53) to Linnaeus. Torén has little to say about plants and animals, but he is almost unique among the older generation of linnaean disciples in his display of humour and wit, which can be experienced in his descriptions of places, street life, buildings, religions etc. in India and in China.

He was married to Louise Clary, niece of the wife of Sweden's King Charles XIV John, Queen Desirée. Lejeune and Jean Baptiste Bernadotte, as his name was before he became King of Sweden, had both taken part in Napoleon's campaigns and were present for example at the Battle of Austerlitz in 1805. Lejeune was made commander of the Order of the Sword in 1824 by Charles XIV John. The book was translated into Swedish in 1841 under the title "De begge belägringarne af Saragossa åren 1808 och 1809". In the latter edition, the accompanying letter which probably came with the present copy was reprinted, as well as the letter of thanks from the king.

(HOSTE, PAUL) Karlskrona, J. Winqwist, (1752). Folio. (6),372,(6) pp. With 115 engraved plates (1 folded) which are included in the pagination. Mid-19th-century half calf, worn. Faintly sprinkled edges. Sparsely gilt spine and sprinkled edges. Nice copy with occasional minor stains. From the library at Biby Manor in Södermanland, Sweden.The French original, "L'art des armées navales ou traité des evolutions navales" was published in 1696 and a second edition was printed in 1727. Translated by Christoffer Falkengréen. The nice plates were engraved by Daniel Petersson Milander, who was employed at the Admirality in Karlskrona. In the foreword, Falkengréen writes that he, together with four other naval officers (one of them was his father, admiral Abraham Falkengréen), has excluded some parts which were more odd than necessary and added a lot more which had been improved upon and invented since the publication of the original edition. Paul Hoste (1642-1700) was professor of mathematics in Toulon. He had spent twelve years at sea in the French navy and his work on naval warfare tactics became standard within the field for the main part of the 18th century. Christoffer Falkengréen (1722-89), who eventually became councillor and vice-admiral, was in French service for a few years, and, among other things, commanded the French frigate "Le Volage".- $4,026
