In connection with the translation of a museum web site (from Danish to English), I have come across the above citation pubished in a Swedish newspaper in 1869. Unfortunately my knowledge of Swedish is rather limited so, even with Google translation's help, I have not been able to get the full translation: Google does not know the word 'lantmannagöromål'. Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks.
