the principle of hereditary monarchy was once more engrafted on the nation. Nothing could demonstrate with greater clearness the extreme danger that is always imminent in blind enthusiasm for a popular and gifted leader.

A. _Books and Pamphlets._ [In this list are included all works written for publication, whether published or not, before the year 1600. The arrangement is strictly chronological.] BEYER, Christopher. _Chronicon Gedanensis._ [In _Scriptores rerum Suecicarum medii aeui_, ed. E. M. Fant. Upsal., 1818-1828. 2 vols. f^o. vol. iii., ed. C. Annerstedt. Upsal., 1871-1876. f^o. sect. 1, pp. 339-340.] The author was born in 1502, and died in 1518. His chronicle contains a few allusions to events in Sweden from 1507 to 1515. FERBER, Eberhard. _Chronicon Gedanensis._ [In _Scriptores rerum Suecicarum_, vol. iii. sect. 1, pp. 340-341.] Author died in 1529. A few statements in his chronicle refer to the expedition of Christiern II. against Sweden in 1518. _Svenska medeltidens rim-krönikor_, ed. G. E. Klemming. Stockh., 1865-1868. 3 vols. 8^o. This ancient collection of rhythmic chronicles, composed by various unknown hands, is devoted chiefly to events occurring before the sixteenth century; and most of the chronicles contained in it were written before that time. Two of them, however, were written in the monastery at Vadstena in 1520, one running through the reign of Karl Knutsson, and the other running from 1452 to 1520. Beside these there is a satire on Christiern II., written shortly after 1520. Although these chronicles are little to be relied on, they are extremely valuable as specimens of early Swedish literature. KOCK, Reimarus. _Chronicon Lubecensis._ [In _Scriptores rerum Suecicarum_, vol. iii. sect. 1, pp. 239-274.] Author born at end of fifteenth century, lived in Lubeck, and died in 1569.
