POLHEM TO ERICUS BENZELIUS.
Nothing else has happened, except that the Gottenburgers
have been ennobled, as the Stralsunders were in former times.
May God guard them , lest a similar fate await them in other
respects. They have now presidents and burgo-counts over
them , instead of burgomasters. We do not yet know how
sweet this tastes to them ; as they must first pay for it by
building three men of war, fitting them out, &c. With kindest
remembrance to sister Anna, I remain, most honoured friend
and brother,
Your most faithful brother and servant,
EMAN . SWEDBERG.

POLHEM TO ERICUS BENZELIUS. *
Most worthy Librarian,
My distinguished friend,
As I have no doubt that Mr. Swedberg’s workt
is going to be continued, I should like very much to receive
a copy of it, as soon as it leaves the press, by post, no
matter what it may cost ; and the copy itself, also, will be
duly paid for. I had expected to be by this time at Carls
crona, but in obedience to orders, I have remained for a little
time in Stockholm , busy with the Committee engaged in pur
chasing the old coinage ofAvestad and exchanging it for the new
copper coins; which are to be exchanged every third month
