NINTH LETTER OF EMANUEL SWEDENBORG
TO DR. BEYER.2
22*
Reverend Doctor,
I herewith send you ten copies of the published
treatise on " Conjugial Love," which when an opportunity offers
you may sell at nine copper dalers per copy. The book
is very much in demand in Paris, and in many places in
Germany.
Of the work last published entitled , "Brief Exposition of
the Doctrine of the New Jerusalem," I sent you only one
copy, which you will please to keep for yourself alone and not
communicate to any one else : for it will cause a change in the
whole of that theology which has up to the present time pre
vailed in Christendom, and partly sets forth also that theology
which will be for the New Church. What is written therein
.
will be thoroughly understood by scarcely any one in Gotten
* The Swedish original, from which the above translation has been
made, is preserved in the Library of the Academy of Sciences in Stock
holm. It was printed in the " Samlingar för Philantroper" in 1788, as
Letter VIII. An English translation is contained in the Supplement to
the enlarged English edition of the "Swedenborg Documents," published in
1855 (p. 5).
The P.S. which is added to the letter has hitherto been published as a
separate document; but by a comparison with Document 244, where Sweden
borg introduced the identical words of this postcript, it is made evident
that it belongs in reality to Document 241. The Swedish original of this
postscript, written on a separate leaf, is preserved in the Library of the
Academy of Sciences in Stockholm. It was printed in the " Samlingar för
Philantroper" of 1788, after Letter XVIII. An English translation ap
peared in the Supplement to the enlarged English edition of the "Sweden
borg Documents," p. 10.
