Nice set of this collection of letters originally written in Swedish by Count Carl Gustaf Tessin. The letters were addressed to the young Prince of Sweden who later became King Gustav III, during the time Tessin served as his governor. The letters focus on the prince's education, reflecting Tessin's role in shaping the future king’s intellectual development and political thought.
