Written in the year the union between Sweden and Norway dissolved, this account traces the long quarrel from 1814 and the dispute over a separate Norwegian consular service, the Storthing’s consular law, King Oscar’s refusal to sanction it, and Norway’s declaration that the union was at an end. It reprints the key acts and official documents.
