Book Description
Excerpt from Swedish Antiquities I have experienced the great good fortune after nearly half a century of publishing a new edition of Svenska fornsaker - or Antiquites suedoises, as the French edition was entitled, - the first section of which, dealing with the stone Age, was printed in 1871, and presented to the Congress at Bologna in that year. Materials have grown considerably during the long period that has elapsed since the first edition was published. In the first edition, information was given concerning the circumstances under which each object was discovered and in what collection it is preserved. Similar information is given in the new edition, together with literacy references. I have moreover indieated the distribution of every type in Seandinavia and beyond it as well as certain other circumstances which seem to be of some interest; and futhermore my literacy reference endeavour, without of course claiming completeness, to offer further guidance in the study of the groups. It is my hope that this series of short monographs will prove of some value, even to others than the beginners. In the case of the antiquates of the Stone Age, only those that belong to the older part are distinguished from those of the later. Any attempt to ascribe erery object of the later Stone Age to one of the four periods established by me would have been impossible. It is sufficiently proved that these periods are actually consecutive in the manner indicated, but such an attempt would have obseured the Inedidity wwhich seems to be of such importance that it should not be imperiled. The antiquates of the Bronze Age, on the other hand, are classified in the six periods that I established in 1885. By this means, an easier survey is obtained than was previously possible over the Seandinavian civilization in that remarkable epoch and over its abundant relies which have been preserved to the present day, and many of which excite wonder by their fine execution, tasteful shape, and beautiful ornamentation. The age assigned to the antiquities illustrated is indicated on each plate as follows: I signifies the Stone Age (I: 1 = the older; I: 2 - the later) and II the Bronze Age (II: 1 = the first period, and so on). The royal Academy of History and Antiquity has facilitated the publication of this work by placing at my disposal gratis all the numerous and costly woodents and other reproductions which have been executed during the past deeades at the Academy's expense. To Mr. Olof Sorling, the Academy's artist, who has drawn almost all the reproductions in this volume. I offer my thanks for his excellent work. Among those to whom I am otherwise indebted, I would especially mention Dr. Sune Lindquist, amannensis to the Academy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Old Norse Element, in Swedish Romanticism Enthusiasm for the Norse saga during the Swedish Romantic period was not confined to the members of the so-called Gothic School. The interest in the Viking age spread also to other groups of poets as well as to some individuals who, like Stagnelius, were not identified with any school. As we shall see, however, they were all, in the ordinary, broad sense, Romantic. This review, therefore, purports to deal with a number of heterogeneous writers, often belonging to entirely different literary confessions, but all bound together, for us, by a bond of common interest in Scandinavian antiquity. The purpose of this study is fourfold: (1) to show clearly that a genuine interest in Scandinavian antiquity was present from the beginning in both the new literary tendencies of the time, (2) to characterize this interest, (3) to collect and examine all the important literary monuments from 1810 to about 1825 that make use of Scandinavian saga, and(4) to record conservative opposition to Norse mythology in Sweden during that period. The well-known literary chiefs, Tegner, Geijer, and Ling, will be treated only incidentally in this study, in connection with specific problems. The present investigation intends to emphasize the work of the minor "Goths" and of such other Romanticists as are not ordinarily mentioned in connection with the Old Norse element. Among the latter are the Fosforists. An appendix has been added, containing brief biographical data of the most important writers connected with Swedish Romanticism. Lastly, I wish to express my gratitude to all those who have contributed in any way to make this investigation possible. To Professor Calvin Thomas, first of all, I owe a deep debt for substantial encouragement and for ever-ready assistance, especially in connection with the final proof-reading.

Excerpt from The Little Swedish Baron The large, Old-fashioned library was walled round with bookcases, built in in the good old times. The Shelves were for the most part empty now, but green cambric curtains hid the deficiencies, and the scholarly looking volumes in the case near the broad writing table made one wonder what treasures of knowledge were modestly hiding behind those green veils.

Book Description
Excerpt from On Some Antiquities in the Neighbourhood of Dunecht House Aberdeenshire It was known to the archaeologist that there were ogam inscriptions in the district, two Of them being among the most important in Caledonia; and that within an easy motor drive there was a minuscule inscription of six lines Of which no satisfactory explanation had been given. This inscription they had visited in a previous year. Further, the quick eye Of the hostess of Dunecht had caught sight of some curious sculptures on a stone by the road-side on the way to the minus cule inscription; and other like stones in the neighbourhood had been shewn in Stuart's two volumes of Sculptural Stones of Scotland. The suggestion was then made that for the sake of visitors at Dunecht a sort Of guide book should be prepared, giving some simple description of the several Objects and their meaning and uses.

Book Description
With 1,125 entries and 170 contributors, this is the first encyclopedia on the history of classical archaeology. It focuses on Greek and Roman material, but also covers the prehistoric and semi-historical cultures of the Bronze Age Aegean, the Etruscans, and manifestations of Greek and Roman culture in Europe and Asia Minor. The Encyclopedia of the History of Classical Archaeology includes entries on individuals whose activities influenced the knowledge of sites and monuments in their own time; articles on famous monuments and sites as seen, changed, and interpreted through time; and entries on major works of art excavated from the Renaissance to the present day as well as works known in the Middle Ages. As the definitive source on a comparatively new discipline - the history of archaeology - these finely illustrated volumes will be useful to students and scholars in archaeology, the classics, history, topography, and art and architectural history.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Legend of Antiquity Europeans. Underneath that vast, glacier eroded area beyond our northern boundary and far into the distant, frozen regions of the Arctic Northwest lie deposits of sedi mentary rocks of the Archaean period, the oldest known to geol ogists. Comparatively speaking, the Old World possesses but little of this strata, the most noteworthy of which exists in the Hebrides Islands, in parts of Europe, and, also, in Norway and Sweden where limited areas of the same formation have been found.
