DOCUMENT 302.
ADDITIONS TO SWEDENBORG’S "TRUE
CHRISTIAN RELIGION ; OR, UNIVERSAL
THEOLOGY."
In the Royal Library of Stockholm is a MS.
in folio, containing twenty-three written pages, which originally
belonged to the Library of Count Engeström. On the cover
it bears the following inscription :
"These papers containing original draughts, were written
by Assessor Swedenborg himself, and left by him in the ship,
in which he made his last journey from Stockholm to Amster
dam. They were given to me be Håkan Påltson of Carls
hamn.
"AND. LANÆRUS, "140
On examining the contents of this MS. volume in 1870, the
editor of these "Documents" found that it consisted for the
most part of the first draughts of the following memorable
relations of "The True Christian Religion," viz. nos. 16, 71,
76, 110, 112 , 134, 136, 159, 335, 459, 504, 508, 695. To some
of these, namely nos. 335 and 695, additions of great importance
are made in the MS., which are omitted in the printed copy.
The rest of the MS. consists of skeletons of memorable relations
which were never finished by Swedenborg, and of tabulated
statements of doctrine.
All these are given in the present document in due order.
