SWEDENBORG DISCUSSED IN THE SWEDISH
PERIODICAL LITERATURE FROM 1763 TO 1766.
A.
"SWENSKA MERCURIUS" *.
1. In the number for June, 1763, we read as follows :
"Assessor Emanuel Swedenborg, who is far-famed for his
learned writings and peculiar views, in the beginning of June
left Stockholm by sea for Holland, notwithstanding his advanced
age" (p. 477).
2. In the number for January, 1764, there is a review of
a book by S. J. Alnander entitled : "Anvisning til et Utvaldt
Theologiskt Bibliothek
" (Aid towards the formation of a select
Theological Library). In this review (p. 73) , the theological
writings of Swedenborg are introduced thus : "In these en
lightened days Assessor Em. Swedenborg has undertaken to
explain and interpret the revealed Word by means of a new
revelation, peculiar to himself, viz. ex visis et auditis, as he
calls his sources of a new light in religion. His works in physics
and the art of mining are known; but not so much his writings
in exegetical theology, which are contained in many quarto
volumes, published in London. As these works are very rare,
and have already been mentioned by Mr. Alnander, (p. 285) we
do not hesitate to communicate their titles for the benefit of
such of our readers as do not study theology, and nevertheless
desire to have rare and singular books in their libraries ; and
* The "Swenska Mercurius" (Swedish Mercury), edited by. C. C. Gjörwell
from 1755 to 1765.
