P. M. (PRO MEMORIA .)
(TO BE APPENDED TO SWEDENBORG’S COLLECTION OF EXTRACTS FROM THE
BOOK OF NORDENCRANTZ, THE COUNCILLOR OF COMMERCE )*
That military offices are to be held during life-time, is
contained in the book on page 650, but nothing is said about
the right of military officers to sit in the House of Nobles,
I do not therefore know what he means by saying that the
judiciary power, which has to give an account of itself, ought
not to be united in the same person with the legislative power,
which has the right of demanding an account; perhaps noblemen
possessing real estate and who are out of service, ought alone
to constitute the House, and to them the heads of families
who are in service are to give representative power ; as is
the case with civil officers, p. 238.
[EM. SWEDENBORG.]
* The original is found on leaf 59 of Swedenborg’s “ Riksdagsskrifter,"
in the Library of the Academy of Sciences in Stockholm. This P. M. is
probably an answer to a question raised in the House of Nobles upon the
discussion of Nordencrantz’s book.
