OFFICIAL CATALOGUE OF MSS.
B.
REPORT OF AN INVENTORY OF THE SWEDENBORGIAN DEPOSIT, TAKEN IN 1841.
The following report of an inventory taken by the Secre
tary of the Academy, Jac. Berzelius, is appended to the official
catalogue:
"The undersigned, in conjunction with Assessor P. Lager
hjelm, took an inventory of the Swedenborgian deposit, accord
ing to the above catalogue, on October 27, 1841, and found
on hand all the books and MSS. recorded therein, with the
exception of nos. 2, 3, 49, 50, 52, 63, and 95, concerning which
the catalogue states that they were borrowed either by Mr.
Wadström or Mr. Nordensköld, and that they have not been
returned by these gentlemen.
"Considering the many manuscripts which are found to be
missing on comparing the above catalogue with the original
printed catalogue [Document 304], it seems probable that when
the Academy, or its Secretary, accepted the offer of Nordensköld,
the inspector of mines, to have the MSS. bound at his expense
(see notice at the beginning of the above catalogue), all the
MSS. were not returned, after they had been bound ; where
fore the missing volumes were not entered into the catalogue
which is in Wilcke’s handwriting, and at the end of which
it is stated that Nordensköld is responsible for all that is
wanting.’
