of Letters,” &c. (Vol. IV , pp. 1–51), which is preserved in

cording to the statement of B. Bergius, these letters were
copied by him from the originals in the possession of

Noble and most learned Censor,
Dear brother, and good, old friend,
Your favour was duly received, for which accept
my best thanks. I am glad to see that you are constant in
your friendship for me, and that you will be kind enough
to let me know the criticisms which are made in Stockholm
upon my " Shibboleth ,” and my sermon before His Royal
Majesty in Lund; also the criticisms which are made in other
places, and likewise in Lund. I can write to you with
much greater freedom , as we have known each other for such
a long time, and are acquainted with each other’s modes of
viewing things, and every day habits.
With respect to the “ Shibboleth,” I had foreseen all,
especially about Vice President Hjärne,63 with whom I agreed
in almost every thing, and who had been my good friend and
brother. The only points on which we could not agree were
Bergius’ Collection, Vol. IV, pp. 1–5.
