Sweden, or the Kingdom of the Swedes

THE PRINTER
to the Reader.

Excellent Reader, we have expended much effort in preparing this handbook, for which the most cultivated Lord M. Henricus Soterus supplied us with no small amount of material. If anything is found wanting in our labor—by which you might one day assist us in perfecting the second edition of this little book—we ask you, in the name of your honor, not to neglect to do so; and we, in turn, offer you our services. If, however, there is less than expected, it will at least suffice, provided we have achieved what we were able, to prove to you our faithfulness, which we hope you will take in good part. Farewell.
