TENTH LETTER * OF BISHOP SWEDBERG TO
JOHAN ROSENADLER .
for a v.
Well-born Secretary,
Most honoured and dear brother,
I am pleased with every thing. Some things
I have improved. When one letter is too dark, a lighter one
must be put in its place. Periods and commas must be well
attended to . No capital must be put for a small letter, no u
The proof-reader must study well my grammar ; which
may seem to many unusual. Some letter-paper and fine
writing paper must be added. My gratitude shall not fail you
for the trouble you take. I now am sending my little cate
chism , with the address to the clergy abroad, to Dr. Ben
zelius& in Upsal, that he may superintend its printing ; he will,
I hope, gain your consent to have it done. If, in your order
permitting the printing of my little grammar, you would be
pleased to pass a favourable judgment upon it, it would add
not a little to its worth .
I am working now with all my might upon my large diction
ary or Swedish -Latin lexicon ; on which I have been at work
more than thirty years, and if God grant me life, it will be
finished without delay. If it see the light of day, language
will be corrected and settled, i. e. if people will allow sense
govern them .
How goes it with the printing of the Bible ? His Majesty
promises much good, if he be allowed to have his own way.
Such a godly and wholesome undertaking has never been, nor
ever will be, set on foot again in our land. Though Satan is
powerful, yet He who is more powerful will punish him.
