XVI PREFACE.
says, "This biography consisted of about twelve pages
of anecdotes, relative to Swedenborg, including the
genealogy of the noble house of Swedenborg-twelve
pages of specimens of Swedenborg’s correspondence,
and the remainder of the principal incidents in his
travels and voyages."
1830. "Life of Swedenborg" by Nathaniel Hobart, Boston,
America. "This Life," says the Rev. O. Prescott
Hiller,* "if we mistake not was first put forth in a
series of articles in the ’Boston New Jerusalem Maga
zine ;’ which were afterwards collected into a volume,
and published at Boston in the year 1830. A second
edition was published in 1845, and a third, with numerous
additions, and edited by Benjamin Worcester, in 1850. ”
1840. In this year appeared a most excellent article on
"Swedenborg" in the " Penny-Cyclopedia," written at
the request of the Editor, Mr. George Long, by
Dr. Garth Wilkinson.
1841. "The next ’Life of Swedenborg,’ " says Mr. Hiller, "was
by the Rev. B. F. Barret of New York, in the early
part of 1841. This was little more than a re-arrange
ment of Mr. Hobart’s materials ; but it was written in
a more connected form, and was very useful."
1849. "A Biographical Sketch of Emanuel Swedenborg: with
an account of his Works," by Elihu Rich, London,
8vo., pp. 192. "This work, " says Mr. White in 1856,
"was exhausted in the course of a few months, and has
not since been reprinted."
* In "The Newchurchman" for 1856, p. 32.
