and England for making their crockery and tobacco pipes;
and how the pipes are afterwards prepared in the sun, and
in the oven. There is here in Westergyllen a white clay,
which I suspect to be of the same kind; should this be the
case, it would be worth many thousand rix -dalers. But silence
about this.
P. S. I am now making arrangements with Werner67 in
Stockholm to insert a notice in the news about the Dædalus
Hyperboreus, in the following words: “The second part of the
“ Dedalus Hyperboreus” is published, for the month of April,
containing a description of Assessor Pålhammar’s hoisting
machine at Fahlun with a copper -engraving; also a quick
method of computing compound interest, with another method
of exchanging carolins, since the increased standard of their
value, into any other kind of money. There are also contained
in it other curious experiments described by Em. Swedberg.
Sold by the booksellers, Messrs. Long & Rüger, in Stockholm,
and also at Upsal.” If there is anything to be changed in this,

SWEDENBORG TO ERICUS BENZELIUS. *
Most honoured friend and brother,
On my return home from a little pleasure
excursion here in Westergyllen, I received your welcome letter
from Upsal
. I thank you for having taken the trouble to send
me fifty copies of Dedalus, part ii. They arrived here yesterday,
I have received ten copper-engravings from Stockholm , and I
shall receive the remainder by a convenient opportunity.
In the following number the title-page may be saved,
and the title placed on the matter itself, as you were
pleased to suggest; the same arrangement may be followed in
* Benzelius’ Collection, Vol. XL, No. 123. See an English translation in
Mr. White’s “New Churchman ,” August, 1856 Letter 13.
