Synopsis
Excerpt from Gustavus Adolphus: And the Struggle of Protestantism for Existence The following account of the life of King Gustavus Adolphus, the national hero of Sweden, demands little preface. It makes no pretensions to be based upon original research, and I cannot claim have read even all the modern authorities on the subject. My knowledge of the Swedish language is by no means independent of the assistance of a dictionary, nor can I hope to have escaped that tendency to partiality for which the natural fascination of such a subject is the only excuse. The work was undertaken, and the material partly gathered, before I was aware that it was to have the honour of forming one of a series of biographies. The difficulty of accommodating its proportions to that object has not been inconsiderable. I am on the one hand debarred from giving the references which in many places I should have desired to give, and on the other hand obliged to include accounts of many things of which I had made no special study. The military history of the Thirty Years' War is in itself a case in point. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Every variety Of dates, figures, and num bers, every variety Of judgment upon the principal characters engaged, makes a little task like mine extremely bewildering. NO great history of the period as a whole has as yet been written. Pro fessor Anton Gindely's larger work treats, so far as it has at present gone, only Of the very early years Of the struggle. He has indeed published a Smaller school-book on the whole subject, which has been translated into English, but this is avow edly only tentative, and he confesses that he has not explored the archives Of Stockholm. But in those archives, if anywhere, it is probable that the true Gustavus Adolphus is to be found. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
