accounts, to be better known than it is by English-speaking

been ornamented by the lives of many distinguished men,
and it has fostered a type of national character by the
examples of which other Churches may well strive to profit.
It has also lessons of warning to offer, and it suggests a
number of problems to those who look for light upon the
future of Christendom.
While the lessons of this history must be directly
valuable to the Churches of the Anglican Communion, whether
in Europe or America, or in the other parts of the globe
where British and Swedish missions are in contact, it may
be hoped that a considerate and sympathetic study of the
subject will be acceptable also to dwellers in Sweden itself,

Communion and the Swedish Church and people, and the
