684 NOTES OF VOLUME I.
He died in 1746. Dr. Kahl states in his Narratiunculce that he
was very highly praised as a senator, and that he excelled his
colleagues in industry, prudence, and patriotism . Swedenborg re
peatedly mentions him in his “ Spiritual Diary,” see “Smaller Diary,”
p. 80–82, “Larger Diary," 4683, 54611, 5479, 5867, 6028.
NOTE 87.
COUNT CARL GYLLENBORG.
Count Carl Gyllenborg was born in 1679. He was an ambitious
man, known in Swedish history as the leader of the party of the
“hats.” The influence which he exerted on Swedish politics is fully
described in the Introduction to Document 172. Dr. Kahl says of
him that, as is the case with all distinguished men, he had both
many friends and numerous antagonists ; but that they all agree in
describing him as a very learned man, as a poet not without merit,
as an able politician, and a wise senator who served his country
and the cause of freedom to the hour of his death. In 1728,
he became chancellor of the University of Lund ; in 1739, prime
minister ; and the same year he was chosen chancellor of the Uni
versity of Upsal. He died in 1746. His state in the other world,
where his interior nature, which was selfish and worldly, was made
apparent, is described in the “Smaller Diary," p. 57, and in the
"Larger Diary," 5008, 5024.

BARON CEDERHJELM.
Baron Josias Cederhjelm was born in 1673. He was made
senator in 1723, and died in 1729. In his "Smaller Diary ,” No. 4676,
Swedenborg speaks of a Cederhjelm, but Dr. Kahl, in his Narrati
unculæ , thinks that this was his father, Germund Cederhjelm , who
died in 1719; it is more probable that the Cederhjelm spoken of
there by Swedenborg is President Germund Cederhjelm , a brother
of Josias Cederhjelm , who died in 1741, in his eightieth year.
