He was an assessor in the College ofMines, when Swedenborg became
connected with it in 1717. After filling several important posts in
the Bank and in the Swedish Mint, he was appointed assessor of
the College of Mines in 1699, and was raised to the dignity of a
councillor of Mines in 1720. He died in 1730 at the age of eighty

DAVID LEIJEL.
David Leijel, a cousin of Adam Leijel (see Note 103), was an
assessor in the College of Mines when Swedenborg became connected

in making inspecting tours among the mines. Besides, they were in a
certain sense related by marriage, as Bergenstjerna married in 1735
Elisabeth Brink, the widow of Swedenborg’s younger brother Eliezer
(see Document 62). Bergenstjerna entered the College of Mines in the
usual way, being first auscultant, without salary, in 1699 ; in 1707, he
became notary; in 1708, attorney, and in 1713 secretary. In 1720 he
