Excerpt from Charles XII of Sweden
In 1686, when he was in his fourth year, Charles was taken by his mother to the university town of Upsala, where she made the most diligent enquiries as to the tutor who would be most fit to direct the education Of the young prince. Having chosen out three, She presented them to the boy, telling him to make his selection amongst them. He held out his little hand to a certain Norcopensis, professor Of rhetoric, who fortunately enjoyed the favour of the Queen-mother, and the respect Of all his colleagues. He was an oldish man, - fifty - four years Of age, with grey hair, - and he has left a name in the literary history of his country as the founder Of the Swedish school Of Latin poetry.
