PREFACE.
Although much has been published by Swedenborg’s biographers
and others concerning his contributions to science, there is still lacking
a thorough treatment of Swedenborg’s observations and theories comprised
in a single volume or series and prepared by specialists. To supply this
want it occurred to the editor when preparing the English translation of
Professor A. G. Nathorst’s »Emanuel Swedenborg as a Geologist» that
it would suitably form the first section of a series of papers on »Emanuel
Swedenborg as a Scientist». With the consent of the Swedenborg
Committee of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which is publishing
a series of Swedenborg’s chief scientific works, it will be possible to
publish the papers section by section, including not only the Introductions
of the Royal Academy’s series of volumes, but also other valuable
memoirs. There will be included in section 2 a short contribution by the
mineralogist Professor Hjalmar Sjögren, and in folio wing sections reviews
of Swedenborg’s contributions to cosmology by Professor Magnus Nyrén
and Professor Svante Arrhenius.
Stockholm, March, 1908.
Editor.
