15. "Documents concerning the Life and Character of
Emanuel Swedenborg, collected by Dr. J. F. I. Tafel; and,
edited in English by the Rev. J. H. Smithson," Manchester 1841 .
In this collection are contained the Documents constituting
Parts I and II of Dr. Tafel’s collection, most of which he
had obtained from English sources, viz. from " Noble’s Appeal, "
the "Intellectual Repository," the " New Jerusalem Magazine"
for 1790, and the "Magazine of Knowledge" for 1791. All
these documents the English editor gave in the original English
form, yet without stating always the sources whence he derived
them. The only document in this volume which had not
previously appeared in an English form is Cuno’s Testimony
respecting Swedenborg, published in Hamburg in 1771 (no. 4).
In 1855 an enlarged edition of these documents appeared,
with a supplement containing some of the new documents
published by Dr. Im. Tafel in Parts III and IV of his Collec
tion, and which had previously appeared in the "Intellectual
Repository. " The following numbers in Dr. Tafel’s Collection
were not embodied in this supplement, and hence remained
unpublished in England until the appearance of the present
collection, viz. nos. 1, 5, 6, 11. Nos. 7 and 13 in Dr. Im.
Tafel’s collection were first printed in an English form in
Dr. Wilkinson’s " Life of Swedenborg."
