Sweden is a cold and mountainous country, celebrated for its iron, of which large quantities are brought to this country. The people are industrious, bold frank and independent. A large part of the inhabitants live upon milk, cheese and fish. In win ter they clothe themselves in furs and sheepskin. 3 The Swedes are a sensible people, and are disposed to make the best of every thing. When their long winter goes away, they celebrate the return of spring by dancing around a May-pole. They love their country, and insist that it is the pleasantest part of the world. 4. Though they dress in sheepskins, and live in a homespun sort of way, they are still very polite. They are, in short, much more amiable, respectable, and well-behaved than many of the kings and princes about whom I have been telling you. 5. I may not have a better opportunity to tell you that good manners are a great recommendation to everybody; but they are especially necessary to people who are not rich. Rich people are sometimes haughty and proud. This is very wrong and very silly, and though everybody despises such people, still their wealth will bring flatterers around them. 6. But people in more humble circumstances cannot afford to throw away the happiness, respectability and comfort which arise from being amiable, gentle, and polite to everybody. 7. Not much is known about the early histc ry of Sweden. In ancient times it was under the govern ment of Denmark. A Danish queen, called Margaret, ruled over Denmark, Sweden and Norway, in 1387. 8. In 1518, the Danish king Christian caused ninety-four Swedish senators to be massacred in the city of Stockholm. Gustavus Vasa, the...

Book Description
The antebellum period has long been identified with the belated emergence of a truly national literature. And yet, as Meredith L. McGill argues, a mass market for books in this period was built and sustained through what we would call rampant literary piracy: a national literature developed not despite but because of the systematic copying of foreign works. Restoring a political dimension to accounts of the economic grounds of antebellum literature, McGill unfolds the legal arguments and political struggles that produced an American "culture of reprinting" and held it in place for two crucial decades. In this culture of reprinting, the circulation of print outstripped authorial and editorial control. McGill examines the workings of literary culture within this market, shifting her gaze from first and authorized editions to reprints and piracies, from the form of the book to the intersection of book and periodical publishing, and from a national literature to an internally divided and transatlantic literary marketplace. Through readings of the work of Dickens, Poe, and Hawthorne, McGill seeks both to analyze how changes in the conditions of publication influenced literary form and to measure what was lost as literary markets became centralized and literary culture became stratified in the early 1850s. American Literature and the Culture of Reprinting, 1834-1853 delineates a distinctive literary culture that was regional in articulation and transnational in scope, while questioning the grounds of the startlingly recent but nonetheless powerful equation of the national interest with the extension of authors' rights.
