Bibliography

All the earlier sketches of Ling’s life must now be viewed in the light of recent critical studies by Carl August Westerblad, of Upsala, and particularly his “Pehr Henrik Ling: en lefnadsteckning och några synpunkter” (Stockholm, P. A. Norstedt & Söner, 1904). His later discussion of “The Ling Gymnastics in the Days of Its Founder” (1913) has just been mentioned in a footnote. To other articles referred to in footnotes should be added one by Jetta Ling Liedbeck in Tidskrift i Gymnastik 3, 870-891 (1893), originally published in Aftonbladet (Stockholm) in 1852.

Massmann’s translation of Ling’s writings, and Rothstein’s version of the Ling gymnastics, were spoken of on p. 123.
