The numbers of the paragraphs as given here do not correspond
with those written by Swedenborg in the body of his work ; for in
chapter XV by mistake he jumped back from no. 370 to 171 and
then proceeded to 172, and so on ; and then again in chapter XXXIII
from no. 459 he jumped back to no. 450, and in chapter XXXIV
he jumped from no. 459 to 560.
II. A treatise on the diseases of the brain, which fills 66 pages.
A part of this treatise as far as no. 684 seems to have been
prepared for the press ; the rest exists in the form of a rough draught.
The subjects treated of are as follows: apoplexy, hemiplexy, para
plexy and parapoplexy; sleep, lethargy, coma, &c.; epilepsy; sneezing,
cough, spasms, tetanus, convulsions, tremor, & c.; paralysis and
paresia ; catarrh, rheumatism, neuralgia; hydrocephalus and hydrope ;
vertigo, swimming of the head and swoon ; deliquium, syncope, asphyxia ;
catalepsy ; ecstasis ; somnambulism ; nightmare; sleeplessness ; fanatical
imagination; loss of memory ; stupidity and loss of wit ; melancholy;
hypochondria; hysterics ; feverish delirium; delirium tremens; mania ;
insanity; hydrophobia; headache; tarantula.
"As a preface to this treatise," says Swedenborg, "read what has
been written in the quarto treatise (Codex 74) on the diseases of
the fibres in general."
The whole of Codex 55, as far as it has been here described, is
printed in Vol. V of Swedenborg’s Photo-lithographed MSS., where
it fills 627 pages. Respecting the place which this MS. occupies
among Swedenborg’s writings, see Document 313, no. 56, A.
III. On the skin, its miliary glands, and the organ of touch, con
sisting of eleven pages.
