TRIAL AT GOTTENBURG.
CC.
NINETEENTH LETTER OF EMANUEL SWEDENBORG TO DR. BEYER.*
"Reverend Doctor,
"Captain Sjöberg informed me that he was
commissioned by Mr. Hammarberg194 to purchase some sets
of the works written by me, viz. four of each, and among them
also the last book which appeared a few days ago. On account
of the strict prohibition [see Document 245, U] the captain
did not dare to purchase more than one copy of each ; besides
this I presented him with a copy of the last work published.
Perhaps Mr. Hammarberg may know of some way by which
he could receive another copy if it were sent afterwards. In
a few days I will send to Stockholm by the skipper Casper
Nyberg two copies of the work just published entitled ’ Vera
Religio Christiana; one for Bishop Menander,180 and the
other for Bishop Serenius ;181 and among other things I will
give them to understand, that as soon as the Diet is properly
organized, I shall tender a formal complaint of the course
of proceeding of the Privy Council in the Gottenburg matter,
in respect to you and myself; from which I hope a favourable
result. I enclose two copies of a printed pro Memoria† against
Dr. Ernesti.38 If you choose you may communicate one of
them to the members of the Consistory; since it will be cir
culated in Germany. What is said therein is applicable also
to your Dean. With my kindest regards to Dr. Rosén I
remain, with all friendship and affection,
"Your most obedient servant and friend,
"EMAN. SWEDENBORG.
"Amsterdam, July 2, 1771."
