ROBSAHM’S19 MEMOIRS OF SWEDENBORG .
THE Swedish original of these memoirs in Robsahm’s own
handwriting, which had been in the possession of Dean Kahl in
Lund, was presented by him to the editor of these Documents
in 1868, during his stay in Sweden for the purpose of photo
lithographing the unpublished MSS. of Swedenborg. These
memoirs have never been printed in Swedish. Dean Kahl trans
lated them into German, and sent his translation to Dr. Im.
Tafel of Tübingen, who published this translation in the third
part of his Swedenborg documents. It is remarkable that these
memoirs have never before been translated into English. The
English editor of the “ Documents collected by Dr. Im. Tafel”
has in his volume an article entitled : "Anecdotes collected by
Mr. Robsahm;" yet this article is by no means a translation of
the Robsahm Memoirs which were published by Dr. Im. Tafel
in fact it could not have been a translation of them , because
Dr. Tafel published these Memoirs in the third part of his
“ Documents”, which appeared in 1842, while the first English
edition of the documents, containing the “ Anecdotes collected
by Mr. Robsahm", appeared in 1841. The Documents contained
in Parts III and IV of Dr. Im . Tafel’s work, with the exception
of the real Robsahm Memoirs, appeared subsequently in the
“ Intellectual Repository,” and were afterwards added as an
appendix to the former volume. On analyzing the article
entitled "Anecdotes collected by Mr. Robsahm,” which figures
in the English and American editions of the “Documents
collected by Dr. J. F. I. Tafel," it proves to be made up of
two separate accounts of Swedenborg, which are mixed up
arbitrarily ; the first of these is “ the Life of Emanuel Sweden
