SWEDENBORG’S CORRESPONDENCE.
for the sake of greater security, so that foreigners may not
counterfeit and import them . It seems also that my journey
to Carlscrona will be postponed until winter, or next spring.
While I was in Stockholm , I received some information on the
subject I troubled you with lately, viz. my own and my fore
fathers’ name, which occurs in a printed matricular or book
of heraldry in possession of Assessor Brenner. They were
barons and used two kinds of armorial bearings, the one with
three bands and a lion, and the other with three bands and
an eagle ; but Assessor Brenner thought it best that I should
use the three bands and a mathematical figure, something like
the Pythagorean theorem , or something else ; but I should like
very much to hear your opinion upon it. With many kind
remembrances I am, most worthy Librarian,
Your most obedient servant,
CHRISTOPH POLLHEIMER .

DOCUMENT 64.
SWEDENBORG TO ERICUS BENZELIUS. *
Most honoured friend and brother,
When I last wrote you by brother Olaus,
I intended to be at Upsal about the 10th or 12th ulto.; but
from one circumstance and another I am prevented from
being there before the 18th or 20th.
I am very glad that Dædalus, part iii, has appeared ; I
thank you for having taken so much trouble and care with it ;
when I am present with you, I will thank you still more. I
am already thinking of the contents of No. 5 of the “Dædalus.”
* Benzelius’ Collection, Vol. XL, No. 124. See Mr. Strutt’s English
translation in White’s “New Churchman ," August 1856, p. 92, letter 14.
+ Olaus, Olavus being the latinized form of Olof; probably Olof Benzel
stjerna, a younger brother of Ericus Benzelius, who was Assessor in the
Court of Appeals in Stockholm (Svea Hofrätt), and who died in 1726.
