PERNETY’S CATALOGUE.
volumes, quarto, Amsterdam, 1779. The same Doctor wrote
on February 10, 1776, to Mr. Aug. N., asking him to see
whether there was not, among the MSS. deposited in the Library
of the Academy, "A Relation of what had taken place in the
world of spirits since the Last Judgment in 1757," and " An
additional refutation of the errors of modern theology. " From
what is said on these subjects in the " True Christian Religion,"
91 and 123, we are justified in concluding that several other
MSS. of Swedenborg have either been dispersed, or lost.
"Among the printed works of the author there are also
the following :*
(a) " A reply to a letter addressed to me by a friend.
[Document 2.]
(
b) " Angelic Wisdom respecting life.
(c) Angelic Wisdom respecting God’s omnipotence, omni
presence, omniscience, eternity, and infinity.
(d
) "Divine and magical miracles.
"As these works, however, are not included in the list given
by Mr. Sandels in his Eulogium of Swedenborg [Vol. I, p. 25] ,
I did not consider myself justified in adding them to his list; †
besides I knew neither the place nor the time of their publi
cation.
"A collection of Swedenborg’s letters was printed in London
as an appendix to his work: The Intercourse between the
Soul and the Body,’ which was translated into English, and
furnished with notes by the Rev. Thomas Hartley, as may be
seen in the letter addressed to me from that town by Mr.
Springer, and which was printed by me [in Vol. I] after the
collection of anecdotes respecting the life of Swedenborg."
[See Document 261 , nos. 5 and 14.]
* This seems to be an addition made by Pernety himself. The works
marked b, c, d were never printed, at least not under the titles given above.
Concerning those marked b and c see Document 284, B.
+ Pernety published a French translation of the Eulogium here refer
red to in Vol. I of his translation of "Heaven and Hell."
