866 SWEDENBORG’S WRITINGS. [Doc. 310.
the original MS. and its photo-lithographic reproduction. As nearly
all the quotations from the anatomists were crossed out by Sweden
borg and transferred by him to Codex 55, the whole of which has
been reproduced as Vol. V of the Swedenborg MSS., the editor did
not deem it necessary to print all these quotations a second time
in Vol. IV; wherefore at the beginning of each chapter, or wherever
these quotations were omitted in that volume, he stated clearly the
pages of Vol. V, where they might be found. Respecting the place
which this treatise occupies among Swedenborg’s writings, see Docu
ment 313, no. 48.
The following papers are bound up in Codex 65 with the above.
1. A fragment on the Infinite and its relation to the Finite, 8 pages
which are paged from 669 to 676. This fragment is printed in the
Photo-lithographed MSS. of Swedenborg, Vol. III, pp. 168 to 173.
2. On the muscles in general, 22 pages. This chapter consists
almost entirely of quotations from the anatomists, viz. Boerhaave,281
Willis,288 Vieussens,289 Winslow.283 Swedenborg himself adds only
one short paragraph, in which he calls attention to the fact that all
muscles have a tendency to contract, and he describes the circum
stances under which they develop this tendency ; but all this, he
says, will be treated in another place. The pages of this chapter
are numbered as pp. 1913 to 1934. The chapter itself has the
number 8 affixed to it.
3. The way to a knowledge of the soul, pp. 1935 to 1939. This
tract was published in London in 1846 under the editorship of
Dr. J. J. Garth Wilkinson, in a volume entitled, Emanuelis Sweden
borgii Opuscula quædam Argumenti Philosophici, pp. 3 to 5. The
same gentleman also translated it into English in the publication
entitled, "Posthumous Tracts," pp. 3 to 6.
4. Faith and good works, pp. 1940 to 1950. This tract was
also edited by Dr. J. J. Garth Wilkinson in the original language
in the Opuscula Philosophica, pp. 9 to 14, and translated into the
English language in the "Posthumous Tracts," pp. 9 to 15.
"Codex 68.- De Cultu et Amore Dei, Part I."
For further particulars, see Codex 51 .
"Codex 74.-Anatomica et Physiologica, 4to."
This codex contains 522 pages and consists of the following distinct
treatises and papers.
I. A treatise on the Fibres and Nerves, which begins with p . 65
and extends to p. 433. Respecting the missing portion, Dr. J. J.
Garth Wilkinson says, "The beginning of the MS., it is true, is
