King Carl XVI Gustaf – Sweden’s Head of State SWEDEN’S HEAD OF STATE. The Swedish Constitution Act rules that the “holder of Sweden’s throne is the nation’s Head of State”. Sweden is thus a constitutional monarchy. Sweden’s King, Carl XVI Gustaf, came to the throne in 1973, and is the 74th monarch. The organisation that surrounds the Head of State is called the Royal Court. Sweden is one of the oldest monarchies in the world. A castle The Swedish Constitution Act also states that The King shall has stood on the site of the Royal Palace for over a thousand chair information and change of government cabinet meetings, years.

THE ROYAL COURT 2009 5 Report from the Marshal of the Realm of State on current issues on a number of occasions. Deci- sions on which events to take part in are made based on the need for a broad knowledge of social conditions. The Royal Court is also responsible for preserving and dis- playing the cultural heritage that is associated with the history of the monarchy. Last year, 880,680 visits were registered at the royal palaces, of which more than 616,300 were to the Royal Palace of Stockholm. Visitor activities are fi nanced via entrance fees. The increase in the allocation from the 2008 fi nancial year on- wards is due to factors such as the need for heightened security measures and covering The Crown Princess’s additional offi cial commitments. This has been taken into account when allocating the allocation within the internal budget. Risk analyses have there- Former Marshal of the Realm Ingemar Eliasson. fore been carried out for all the royal palaces, and the surveillance centre staffi ng increases have been made permanent.

THE GO-BETWEEN: JAN ELIASSON AND THE STYLES OF MEDIATION By Garret Brouwer* War and conflict have existed as long as humanity. Sometimes these conflicts can be solved with words. Unfortunately, many others are solved with weapons. With the rise of modern technology in the 20th century, the world has become smaller than ever. Humans can instantaneously communicate with one another across the planet. Economies are increasingly dependent on international trade and cooperation. Nation states have vested political interests in their neighbors and trading partners. Interconnectivity has made it more important than ever for conflicts to be resolved as quickly and painlessly as possible. The less a conflict costs, both economically and socially, the better for everyone involved. One method to limit these costs is international mediation. International powers and organizations have increasingly been using mediation as a means to resolve a wide range of disputes. One individual who has become synonymous with these efforts is Jan Eliasson.

Genom åren har den kampen sett olika ut, men vår tilltro till människor har alltid varit okuvad. Vi tror på människor och på framtiden, och vi är övertygade om att om människor bara får chansen, ja då kan vi också skapa stordåd. Stordåd kräver dock att kropp, plånbok, själ och hjärna är fri.

    Buying and Borrowing Books: Book Consumption In Late Nineteenth-Century Sweden1 Henning Hansen* How did readers in the different social segments of late-nineteenth- century Swedish society acquire reading materials – and who were these readers? What books were on offer in the bookshops and libraries, respectively, and what were the most popular genres? How did the reading preferences of certain groups change over time? And why did the formerly flourishing parish libraries decline? Very little is known about the nineteenth-century Swedish reading public, and questions like these remain largely unanswered. Most of the sources that could reveal individuals’ reading patterns have been lost – “the sources fail us,” as one scholar puts it – and hardly any studies have been done on actual historical readers in nineteenth-century Sweden.2 This article, however, is based on a number of preserved sales’ and borrowers’ ledgers and receipts from three different institutions – a parish library, a bookshop, and a commercial lending library3 – all of them from the latter part of nineteenth-century Sweden. These records, humble as they may seem at first glance, allow us actually to follow the trail of a number of readers and to reveal some interesting patterns of book consumption. They have never before been used, 1 An earlier version of this paper was presented at the annual conference of the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing, held in Montréal at the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, Université de Sherbrooke (Longueuil campus), and McGill University, 7–10 July 2015. The author’s travel to the conference was made possible by a grant from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation.
