Beskrivelse

Bodø-saken: British Diplomatic Correspondence relating to the Bodø Affair: Extracted from the Public Foreign Office Records and edited for Kjeldeskriftfondet.

Jacob Dybwad, Oslo 1926, liten 4to, orig. omslag, 103 s., engelsk tekst, meget pent eksemplar, for en stor del uoppskåret.

Smuglersaken i 1818 utviklet seg til en diplomatisk konflikt. Britiske myndigheter stilte seg bak smugleren John Everth og tvang i 1821 den illikvide norske statskassen til å yte en «erstatning» på 120.000 speciedaler. Svenske utenriksmyndigheter ville ikke legge seg ut med Storbritannia og så en annen vei.

«The Foreign Office archives covering the years during which these events took place have now for some time been made available to the historian by being transferred to the Public Record Office, and it is therefore possible to lay before the Norwegian public that side of the question of which it has hitherto inevitably remained in ignorance.»
