Johan Frederik Wilhelm Schlegel, 1765-1836, Danish lawyer. This attack on the action of the English admiralty court was answered by Sir Alexander Croke in
the next following tract, on the verso of the title-page of which is the statement:
Mr. Schlegel’s Book was originally published in the Danish Language; it was translated into French at Copenhagen, and from
thence into English.--Another English Translation, immediately from the Danish, printed by Wilson, was not sold, but circulated,
and distributed. The latter is the Edition to which I have generally referred.
