The rare first edition of Bøgh’s final publication. A few years before his death, he considered starting a weekly publication where religious teachings would be addressed in verse. He had written over a hundred sheets but lacked the money and time to publish it. Only a fragment, the present, was published. Niels Seidelin Bøgh (1717—1778) was a pastor born in Trige, Denmark. As a theological candidate, he published a large original collection of hymns titled "Den sjungende Theologus" in 1742. In 1743, Bøgh became a ship's chaplain and accompanied Danneskjold's squadron to Algiers in 1746. After his return, he wrote "Den algierske Freds Historie" (The History of the Algerian Peace) in verse. In 1747, he was appointed parish priest in Kerteminde, became district provost in 1761, and died on August 23, 1778. OCLC only list two copies, both in Copenhagen. Not in Biblioteca Danica.
