IV. EDUCATION AND MENTAL CULTURE IN SWEDEN.
With regard to the circulation, some papers have reached 100,000 copies,
and beyond, which is undeniably a high figure for a population of five
millions. Several ten thousands of copies is no unusual circulation. On the other hand,
the circulation of periodicals (magazines) is for the most part small.
In connection with the press, we should mention the Journalist dub
(Publicistklubben), which was founded in 1874, and aims at providing its members
an opportunity of consulting and deciding on common press-interests and to enjoy
the advantages of associating with colleagues irrespective of political or religions
opinions. In the middle of 1902 this club numbered 540 members, 19 of whom
were women. The club has sent delegates as representatives for the journalists
of Sweden at the International Journalist Congresses which have been held annually
ever since 1894 and acted as hosts themselves to the fourth Journalist Congress
in Stockholm 1897. At the request of the Journalist Club Dr. Bernhard
Lundstedt has compiled a Bibliography of the Periodical Literature of Sweden
(3 vols., Stockholm 1895—1902), in which all the periodicals published in
Sweden 1645/1899 are carefully described in their chronological order, with full
indexes.

8. LITERATURE.
The activity of a people within the field of literature and art as
well as that for scientific research constitutes, as it were, the summit
of its intellectual culture. Therefore, a work on Sweden and its People
would be incomplete without a brief account of the subject, although
space forbids more than a mere summary.
