Note 949 — Chapter IX · (continued 2)

Bishop Svedberg’s interest in the posterity of the old colonists of New Sweden is well evinced in his America Illuminata (Skara, 1732, small 8vo, 163 pp. + Indices), copies of which are in the libraries of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and of Harvard College. Cf. Brinley Catalogue, ii. 3,100; Muller’s Books on America (1872), no. 1,140. Well-bound copies have been recently priced at £10. See also Vita Jesperi Swedberg, Episcopi Scarensis, an academical dissertation by Carolus Johannes Knos, vestrogothus (Upsala, 1787), a copy of which is in the library of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, as well as a portrait of the bishop, signed “H. C. Fehlingk delin. Joh. Chr. Böcklin Aug. Vind. sc. Lipsiæ.”
