Provenance
1st work: John Robinson (1650-1723), signature on title-page. From 1678 John Robinson, the future bishop of London, was employed as legation secretary to his brother-in-law, Sir Edward Wood, envoy to Sweden. Robinson spent many years in Sweden, enjoying a distinguished career, rising to the rank of minister-resident and was held in high esteem at court, partly on account of his swift assimilation of Swedish and ability to converse fluently. Robinson's An Account of Sweden appeared in ten editions between 1694 and 1735.
