"Suomen historia: Koetteeksi kerrottu lyhykäisessä järjestyksessä" by J. F. Kainonen is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book aims to provide a comprehensive and accessible narrative of Finland's history, ranging from ancient times to the contemporary period, in the Finnish language. Importantly, it attempts to synthesize various historical accounts to present a coherent story to Finnish readers. At the start of the work, the author discusses the motivation
behind compiling Finnish history in a systematic manner, which had previously been inadequately recorded. He notes that prior historical references were scattered and often incomplete, existing mainly in religious texts and popular literature. The text elaborates on the challenges faced during the compilation process, acknowledging the various sources and the collaborative nature of the undertaking, while also expressing the hope that this attempt will serve as a foundational step for future Finnish historiography. The author also reflects on the themes of Christianity and native beliefs, setting the stage for exploring the complexity of Finland's historical narrative.
