688 NOTES TO VOLUME I.
in 1751. He was one of the founders of the Academy of Sciences
in Stockholm , which in 1755 and 1759 struck medals in his honour.
In 1756, the Swedish Diet ordered his bust to be placed in the
exchange in Stockholm , where it was set up in 1790, bearing the
inscription, Jonas Alströmer Artium Fabrilium in Patria Instaurator.
After the death of Jonas Alströmer, Swedenborg seems to have
maintained the same friendly relation with his son, Augustus Al
strömer, that he had with the father. Augustus Alströmer was born in
1735 ; was a merchant in Gottenburg, and a friend of Drs. Beyer22
and Rosén.45 From a letter which was addressed to him by Sweden
borg in 1770, and which will be found in Section IX, it
appears
that he was one of the few who during Swedenborg’s life-time had
a belief in his Divine mission. He died in 1773. His daughter,
Anna Margaretha, after her father’s death, was married to Baron
Nils Silfversköld .
NOTE 95.
ABRAHAM DANIEL SCHÖNSTRÖM.
Abraham Daniel Schönström, to whom are addressed the letters
constituting Documents 108, 109, and 110, was the son of Peter
Schönström , brother of Bishop Swedberg, and hence he was Sweden
borg’s first cousin. As appears from Document 9, p. 85, he was
born in 1692, was chamberlain to the king, and died in 1759 with
out issue. He was married to Hedvig Sophia Adlerheim, whose
father, Carl Arosell, when ennobled, Adlerheim , was a son of Catharina
Behm , a sister of Swedenborg’s mother, Sarah Behm (see Document 9,
p. 87). His state in the spiritual world is described in the " Spiritual
Diary," no. 6037, and the nature of those who are like him in
no. 5887. As early as October 27, 1748, thus eleven years before
his departure into the spiritual world, Swedenborg describes a dream
which he had about him (see “Spiritual Diary," no. 3732), and says
“Judging from externals I had formed a conception respecting him
as if he were interiorly crafty and malicious; yet I refrain ’from
judging whether he is so as to his interiors."
Swedenborg speaks of an “ Adlerheim ” in the “Spiritual Diary,"
nos. 4396, 4414, 4466, 4525. According to Dr. Kahl in his Narrati
unculce this was “Peter Adlerheim ," brother of the Carl Adlerheim
mentioned above. Peter died in 1736, and Carl in 1717.
