Excerpt from The Swedes in America, 1638 1900, Vol. 1: The Swedes on the Delaware, 1638 1664 This volume has been prepared to meet the demands, made from time to time, for a popular edition of the swedish settlements ON the delaware. It is essentially an abridgment of the above-named work, yet in some particulars it is a new book. It is pop-ular only in so far that foot notes and bibliographical references have been omitted: nowhere has the statement of fact been sacrificed to the embellishment of language. The book (which was begun last summer) has been written during the Spare hours of a very full schedule and without the noble aid, inspira tion and encouragement of the author's wife it could not have been finished for another season. The author also desires to thank the many scholars and others, here and abroad, who, in re views and private letters, have encouraged the labor through favorable criticism of the earlier book. If this little volume is accorded the same reception by critics and readers as the large work, the labor in writing it has been well worth while.
