- Cuthullin, Faͤltmarſkalk uti Erin (Irland), ſaknar, i det oͤgonblick då han wille framrycka mot Swaran, Lochlins Konung, ſom gjort en landſtigning på Oͤn, trenne af ſina tapprasſe hjeltar, Sergus, Duchomar och Cathbat.

- 1870 January 22, “Kroͤnika [Column]”, in Stockholms Dagblad, number 17, page 2:
- Man talar mycket mer om Pierre Bonaparte, revolvermannen, och om den franſka riksdagen, hwilket bewiſar att wi werkligen höra til Europa och ej kunna undgå att interesſera oß för hwad ſom händer på det ſtora faſtlandet, på halföarne och äfwen i det britiſka öriket, "gröna Erin" inbegripen, men framför allt för det ſom pasſerar i grannſkapet af Seine, ware sig i lagſtiftande corpſens palats eller i en ſalong i Auteuil, ſtrax bredwid der Molière hade ſin malmgård.
- One speaks much more about Pierre Bonaparte, the gunslinger, and about the French parliament, which proves that we truly belong to Europe and cannot avoid being interested in what happens on the great continent, on the peninsulas, and even in the British island kingdom, "green Erin" included, but above all in what transpires in the vicinity of the Seine, whether in the legislative corps' palace or in a salon in Auteuil, right next to where Molière had his suburban estate.
