THE MISSING MANUSCRIPTS.
borg manuscript of Apocalypsis Explicata, in three volumes,
carefully packed up, but also sixty-five volumes of the same
author’s works, both in Latin and English, as a very valuable
present, for which the Royal Academy considers it a duty to
returnthe most sincere and grateful acknowledgments ; assuring,
in the meantime, your honourable Society, of the friendly
readiness of the Royal Academy to assist you, by all the means
in our possession, capable of promoting the interests of your
Society, and to contribute to the execution of your noble under
taking.

DISCOVERY OF ADDITIONAL MSS.
The next Swedenborg MSS. , the recovery of which we have
to record, are nos. 1 , 9, and 10 of the missing MSS. specified
in subdivision A of the present document.
The first that turned up was no. 1, concerning which we
read in a letter of Dr. A. Kahl, published in the Report of
the Swedenborg Society for 1843 (p. 27), as follows : "I was
told at Skara by a reader (who, however, was but little acquainted
with Swedenborg’s system), that a part of Swedenborg’s Diary
is preserved in the Library at Upsal. Since then I have written
to one of the professors at that place on the subject, and also
to friend Tafel, and I now find that the Upsal portion of the
Diary completes the portion which has hitherto been preserved
in London, and which has lately been sent to Dr. Tafel for
publication. I am in hopes, therefore, that the Upsal Diary
may also be lent to our friend, in order that it, too, may be
quickly put to press. " Dr. Kahl’s wishes were soon realized ;
for as early as August 3, 1843, Dr. Im. Tafel received from
the Senate of the Upsal University the volume in question.
For further particulars respecting this volume, see Document 310,
Codex 2.
