CHAPTER XIX. 



KING FREDERICK I. OF SWEDEN HIS GREAT SKALLS ANDREAS SCHONBERG 

 DOGS GREAT EXECUTION. 



MENTION was made in my former work of several of the 

 great Skalls that took place in the time of Frederick I. of 

 Sweden, under the command of Hof-Jagmastare* Andreas 

 Schonberg, a man far-famed in his day as the slayer of wild 

 beasts. I now subjoin an account (penned by Schonberg 

 himself, and annexed in the shape of notes to the plans of 

 each) of the remainder of those he organized for the amuse- 

 ment of that monarch. The winter Skalls, it should be 

 remarked, were in general round or oval ; whilst those that 

 took place in the summer were, for the most part, some- 

 what in the shape of a sugar-loaf. 



No. 1 . " The first Skall that the King honoured me with 



* This title may be rendered Hunting-master to the Court.
