PRIVATE MEMORANDA.
These memoranda were written by Swedenborg on the last
page of his "Diarium Spirituale. " They were not noticed by
Dr. Immanuel Tafel in his Latin edition of that work. Mr.
Klemming published them for the first time in the appendix
to his edition of " Swedenborg’s Drömmar," p. 72. The initial
letter of the person concerning whom these memoranda are
written is B. Mr. Klemming suggests E. before the letter B.,
in which case the name ofthe person would either be E[ricus]
B[enzelius] , or E[rland] B[roman].167 In Note 8 of Volume I
we state our reasons why we think that L., i. e. Lars is the
proper name to be placed before B.; whence it would follow
that the whole of these memoranda were written about Sweden
borg’s brother-in-law, Lars Benzelstierna.8*
"[L.] B. incited Nordencrantz,133 as is proved by the letter
of- to
"Brita Behm was incited by him, as was acknowledged
and confessed by her.

* In Note 8 we refer to S. D. 5134, as proving that the initials at the
head of these "Private Memoranda" should be L. B., and we state there
that in that number the same charges are made in general against L. B.,
which in the "Private Memoranda" are made in particular against B. This
passage reads as follows : "I heard some one speaking in hell, who in the
world had attempted to perpetrate most wicked deeds, viz. , to kill another
from hatred, which he often endeavoured and plotted to do, but in vain.
It was L. B. who said that he did not believe that such things condemned
man, provided he was in faith ; because faith alone saves. There are many men
from the church, perpetrators of wicked deeds, who believed the same thing."
