came here (in Paris) last summer, bringing with him a book
he had printed in Holland, entitled, Summaria Expositio
Doctrinæ Novæ Ecclesiæ, quæ per novam Hierosolymam in
Apocalypsi intelligitur, ab Emanuele Swedenborg, Sveco, Amster
dam, 1769, 4to, 67 pages. From Paris he afterwards travelled
to London. He has also printed a book here [?], which I have
not yet received. He was forbidden to have it published here,

it, I have had the honour of conversing with Assessor Sweden

been printed here in London, I thought I should do a pleasant
service to you by writing you a few words about it. The
following are the titles of the works:

Björnståhl, 1780. Vol. I, p. 42.
