SWEDENBORG’S ENTRANCE INTO THE
COLLEGE. *
April 1, 1723.
The petition sent in by Assessor Emanuel Swedenborg on
February 12 was read, to which was added the decree of
His Majesty, King Charles XII, with his letter to the Royal
College, by which Swedenborg received the appointment of an
extraordinary Assessor in this College. The Assessor reported
that he was prevented from enjoying the privileges of the said
appointment on account of his journeys in Sweden and abroad ;
and as his only object has been to perfect himself in those
branches which concern the economy of mines, which he could
not have done while attending the sessions of the Royal
College here in town, he considers it his first duty to await
an expression of the Royal College, as to whether there is
any obstacle to his re-entrance.
Another petition sent in on the 20th of last month was
also read, in which Assessor Swedenborg begs the Royal
College to arrive at some result with regard to his right of
sitting and voting in the Royal College here.
As the Royal College had summoned Assessor Sweden
borg’s attendance that he might express himself more fully
on this subject, and as he was then present, he was called.
The President stated, that the College had had his petitions read
to them respecting his vote and seat in the Royal College,
and had found it necessary to hear from him , whether he had
made up his mind to grant precedence to Assessors Bergen
stierna 125 and Bromell, 72 + so that no disputes might arise
on this subject.
* Extracted from the Minutes of the College of Mines for the year 1723.
† Both these gentlemen had received their appointments as Assessors in
1720; but Bergenstierna had been Secretary of the College of Mines
from 1713.
