Geographical geography. Written by Daniel Djurberg, Roctor Scholæ, Ledamot of Cosmogr. Sällsk. in Upsala. Second edition.
Here are only the first two volumes of this great work by Daniel Djurberg. But there were 9 volumes in total.
Daniel Djurberg, born June 3, 1744 in Gävle, died October 2, 1834, was a Swedish geographer.
Djurberg became a student at Uppsala University in 1761, a teacher at the informationsinrättningen in Stockholm in 1770, page hovmästare at the widowed queen Lovisa Ulrika in 1772, apologist at Katarina school in 1776 and rector at Klara school in 1782. After several years of service, he retired in 1820.
He was a prolific author of geographical reference works and textbooks, which were highly appreciated and used in his time. Some of his maps were the first in Sweden over respective countries. When one of the first Swedish encyclopedias was published, Conversations-lexicon (first volume, 1821-1826), but translated by Brockhaus in German, the articles on geographical places were omitted with reference to Djurberg's Geografiskt lexicon (1811-1813).
