Bring Itineraria Svecana 290. Schiötz Itineraria Norvegica 1195h*. Bibliotheca danica II:589. Aberstén & Tiselius Göteborgs och Bohus län i litteratur, karta och bild 209. Aberstén Bibliographia Gothoburgensis 215. Windle Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin A7h. The rare portrait, engraved by Åkerland, lacking as usual. The English original was published in 1796 and the book was translated into Russian, Dutch and Portuguise, among other languages, at an early stage. Mary Wollstonecraft (1757-97) is today mostly known for her for her polemics against Burke in ”A vindication of the rights of women” and she has, somewhat anachronistically, been called the first feminist. From Midsummer to October 1795 she made a business journey along the West coast of Sweden to Norway, which she described in letters to her then husband Gilbert Imlay. In this work she describes her impressions of Gothenburg, Uddevalla and Trollhättan, among other things.
