[ This was read in the Council of State, April 17, 1733 ; and
it was resolved that inasmuch as Assessor Swedenborg can more
advantageously contract forthe publication ofthe above-mentioned
work abroad than here in Sweden, and as it is necessary for him
to be present there to read the proof-sheets, leave is granted
to him for nine months, so that he may proceed to Germany.
The Royal Decree granting this leave follows herewith :]

THE KING’S DECREE . *
Frederic, by the grace of God, King of Sweden, Gothia,
Wendia, etc. Landgrave of Hesse, etc.
Our especial favour and gracious pleasure, under
God Almighty, to the true men and servants, the President,
Councillor of Mines, and Assessors. We have graciously had
read to us your humble opinion concerning Assessor Emanuel
Swedenborg’s petition, which he presented to us, and wherein
he prayed to be allowed to go for nine months to Dresden,
to superintend the printing of a work which he has
written respecting the processes of smelting and working
the metals in the various mines of Europe, with several
other matters relating to mining, and to other subjects. You
submitted to our gracious consideration whether the petition
of the above-named Assessor ought not to be granted. And
inasmuch as we are willing, because of the arguments and
reasons advanced by you, to give our approval and assent,
we therefore make this graciously known to you herewith.
We hereby commend you to the grace of God Almighty.
FREDERIC.
The Council-Chamber, Stockholm , April 17, 1733.
* From His Royal Majesty’s Letters, eto. of 1733 & 1734, under the
date of April 17, 1733, in the College of Mines.
