ROBSAHM’S MEMOIRS.
But when Swedenborg himself saw her grief, he voluntarily
relinquished his right; and he left the house with a solemn
oath, never again to let his thoughts settle upon any woman,
and still less to enter into any other engagement; whereupon
he commenced his travels abroad.* This is in brief all that
can be reported with certainty on this matter.33
It may be worth recording that Assessor Swedenborg as
sured the daughters and sons-in -law of Emerentia Polhem ,
when they visited him in his garden,t that he conversed with
their departed mother as often as he pleased."
* After the death of Charles XII on the 30th of November, 1718,
Swedenborg left Polhem, and went to the ironworks in Westmanland ,
where he was part-owner of the ironwork Shillon in Skinskatteberg, and
it was not until June 30, 1721, that he started on his second journey
abroad.
* Emerentia Polhem died in 1759.
