SWEDENBORG’S OFFICIAL LIFE.
what had been estimated, this also may be placed on a
surer foundation, and the causes may be shown and means
suggested for improvement. This may be as great a source
of gain as the former, and if this be proved and shown,
I hope your Majesty will also most graciously allow me the
enjoyment of the same profit as in the former case. For we
in Sweden ought to have the same advantage which they en
joy abroad, in obtaining as much copper out of ore, as is
indicated by an analysis on a small scale.
Should some saving in coal be effected, this also ought
to be borne in mind by Your Majesty, so that I may enjoy
the same proportion of the profit accruing from that source.
But as a single trial, considering that those who make
it are unaccustomed to new processes and furnaces, is un
avoidably subject to some uncertainty , I reserve to myself
the right of making a second trial, which must be granted
me if I find it necessary; on the other hand the mining au
thorities (bergslagen) have also the right to insist on a second
trial. In all which I submit myself to the most gracious
pleasure of Your Royal Majesty, and remain, Your Royal
Majesty, my most gracious King’s
Most humble and faithful subject,
EMAN. SWEDENBORG.
