REPORT OF A SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING of the swedenborg society,
HELD ON SEPTEMBER 29, 1842. *
The chairman, Dr. Spurgin, briefly explained the cause of
the Meeting, and directed the summons of the Secretary (which
had been duly circulated among both town and country sub
scribers), and the copy of letters from the Royal Academy of
Sciences of Stockholm and Baron Berzelius [ Subdivision I,
and b] to be read by the Secretary. The following Reso
lutions were then unanimously passed by the Meeting.
"I. That this Society is satisfied with the statement of the
Royal Academy of Sciences of Stockholm, that no penalty was
ever imposed upon, or received from, the borrowers of the
MSS. of Swedenborg, or their successors.
"II. That the original MS. of the Apocalypsis Explicata,
and all the other original MSS. of Swedenborg now in the
possession of the Society, be restored to the Royal Academy
of Sciences of Stockholm.
"III. That the restitution of the MSS. shall be thus : The
Apocalypsis Explicata shall be transmitted to the Royal
Academy of Sciences of Stockholm, through Mr. Tottie, the
Swedish consul, in such manner as the Committee shall approve,
within a month from this time : and that a letter be forth
with sent, informing the Royal Academy of the intended mode
of transmission. That as the Academy kindly permits a copy
of the unpublished MSS. to be taken before they are returned
to Stockholm, and as Dr. J. F. I. Tafel, Librarian to the
University of Tübingen, has undertaken to make a copy of
them, the unpublished MSS. be sent, as soon as the Com
mittee can arrange it, to Dr. J. F. I. Tafel ; upon his engaging
to return them within a fixed period, to be approved by the
Committee, to Messrs. H. Bateman, L. S. Coxe, and J. J. G.
Wilkinson, who shall then immediately transmit them to the
Royal Academy of Sciences of Stockholm.
