PREFACE. XVII
1849. "Emanuel Swedenborg : a Biography," by James John
Garth Wilkinson,280 London, Svo, pp. 370. "It is a
work," says Mr. White in 1856, " which, alike for its
artistic excellence as a biography, and the originality
and poetic beauty of its thought, has, I believe, no
equal in the English language. "
1849. The article on "Emanuel Swedenborg" in the " Biogra
phiskt Lexicon öfver namnkunnige Svenska Män" (Bio
graphical Lexicon of celebrated Swedish men), Upsal,
1849, 8vo. It is contained in Vol. XVI, and fills there
60 pages.

in making Swedenborg known in the literary world
at large."
1854. W. H. Fernald in his " Compendium of the Theological
and Spiritual Writings of Swedenborg" published a

biography, it yet contains perhaps the fullest account
of Swedenborg’s philosophical as well as theological
works, that has yet appeared. "
