DOCUMENT 226.
EMANUEL SWEDENBORG TO THE SECRETARY
OF STATE [IN STOCKHOLM].*
I have at last finished the explanation of the
Book of Revelation, and circulated it in all the universities in
Holland, Germany, France, and England ; and am going to
send seventy copies to Stockholm, of which your honour will
please to take five, and give them to the following senators :
Senator Höpken,28 Senator Scheffer,136 likewise to Norden
crantz,133 the counsellor of commerce, and Bishops Menander180
and Serenius ;181 the other five you will please to distribute
among your friends. The remaining sixty copies I desire to
be kept safe until my return home. I intend to distribute
them among the academies and libraries of Sweden, and among
clergymen who are qualified for a more than ordinary position.
Four I intend to present to the Court, and the remainder to
universities and [theological] seminaries in foreign parts. It
will give me great pleasure to hear of your own and your
dear father’s welfare.
I remain
Your [obedient servant,]
[EM. SWEDENBORG. ]
[Amsterdam, about May or June, 1766.]
P. S. I shall depart for London this week.
