ERICUS BENZELIUS TO CHRISTOPHER WOLF100*
Most reverend and learned Sir,
**** From my boyhood I
my boyhood I was seized
with such a zeal for collecting letters of learned men, that
even now I refresh my mind in reading them . My little
Museum consists of only twenty volumes. I will tell you
very soon, in what manner I desire to dispose of them; but
I am importuned now by my very best relative, Emanuel
Swedenborg, who brings this letter, and who is the author
of most distinguished works in mineralogy, which, as you are
probably aware, have been published, in three folio volumes
at Leipzig, etc. Farewell.
Yours most respectfully,
E. BENZELIUS.
Linköping, July 13, 1736.
* This served as a letter of introduction for Swedenborg, and was de
livered by him in Hamburg to Christopher Wolf, 100 one of the leading
clergymen of that town. It is now preserved among the letters of
Christopher Wolf, in the town -library of Hamburg, where it was found
by the editor in 1868.
