That No. 41 should be reprinted is so far from our unfathomable thoughts that we think it would have been better if it had never been printed in the form in which it is. There is something good in the book, but there are many things that should have been different. The Swedes in particular feel that it is a slander against their nation, which cannot be denied in any way.

Nos. 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 49, 50 are books of no particular value, we suppose, and do not deserve to have the high name of your Majesty placed upon them.

No. 38 never existed, except for a single leaf in a book called Christen Jensen’s Norwegian Glossary, printed in Copenhagen in 1646.

There are 3 more editions of no. 51. One old and curious, 1555, another much newer and almost common, the third printed for some years and to be got in abundance. All these editions are without any privilege, which we firmly believe may remain so.

No. 52 is worth nothing.

No. 53 is not even printed, and that without any privilege. We believe that no copies have yet been made of it.

No. 54 is of no great value.

Nor is No. 55, although it is a historical subject as it is.

At num. 41 skulde oplægges paa ny, er saa langt fra vores uforgrubelige tanker, at vi mener det havde været bedre, at den aldrig hafen bleven trøckt i det form som den er. Der er vel noget got i bogen, derimod ere der mange ting, som burdte at have været anderledes. Især holde de svenske for, at det er et injurieux skrift i mod deres nation, hvilket icke i alle maade kand nægtes.

Numeri 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 49, 50 ere bøger af ingen synderlig værdier, formener vi saa, at icke fortiener det Eders Kongl Majestets høie nafn blef sat for paa dennem.

Num. 38 er aldrig til, undtagen et eniste blad for i en bog som kaldes Christen Jensens norske glosebog, trøckt i Kiøbenhafn 1646.

Af. Num 51 ere 3 editioner til. En gammel og rar, 1555 en anden langt yngre og næsten gemeen, den tredie trøckt for nogle aar, og i overflødighed at bekomme. Alle disse editioner ere uden noget privilegio, hvorved vi og uforgribeligen mener det kunde forblive.

Num. 52 er intet værd.

Num. 53 er ickun engang trøckt, og det uden noget privilegio. Vi mener at endnu fattes icke exemplarier deraf.

Num. 54 er icke af stor værdi.

Num. 55 icke heller, dog er det en historisk materie saadan som den er.
