    • 1874 December 21, “Bref från Lund [Letter from Lund]”, in Göteborgs Handels- och Sjöfartstidning, page 5:
      Ateneum, som tillhandahåller ett rikt förråd af in- och utländska tidningar och tidskrifter (öfver 120 ex.), upptager 4 rum i föreningsbyggnadens södra flygels Östra torn, 2 rum i nedra och 2 i öfra våningen. I dessa senare, hvilka utgöra det egentliga Ateneum, äro samspråk och tobaksrökning förbjudna, hvilket icke är fallet med Atenei särafdelning på nedra botten, der tillika flere bräd- och schackspel äro att tillgå.
      The athenaeum, which provides a rich stock of domestic and foreign newspapers and magazines (over 120 copies), occupies 4 rooms in the eastern tower of the association building's southern wing, 2 rooms on the lower floor, and 2 on the upper floor. In these latter rooms, which constitute the actual athenaeum, conversation and tobacco smoking are prohibited, which is not the case with athenaeum's separate section on the ground floor, where several board and chess games are also available.
