The figures, it must be observed, are in a majority of cases purely
conjectural. They have been adopted after the most careful
investigation, by native critics; and we will not be so presumptuous
as to reject them, especially when some of them are known to be
correct.

The authors admit that they have omitted several names, probably from
a doubt whether the kings in question ever reigned. Yet some of the
names in both lists may be proved to be the same. How correct this?
Doubtless the kings of Gothia sometimes reigned at Upsal, and vice
versa. Indeed there is proof for this conjecture.
