Vol. I, p. 310), and another copy he began to send in portions to
Ericus Benzelius for the Literary Society in January, 1720 (see
Document 88, Vol. I, p. 317). The reason of the lapsus between
Chapters VI and XIII is stated by the author in Document 89.
This is a most important paper, especially as it shows that Sweden
borg so early as 1719 instituted most thorough investigations
into the anatomy of the human body, and particularly into that of
the human brain and of the nerves ; wherefore this may be justly
regarded as the precursor of his later treatises, the Economia Regni
Animalis, and the Regnum Animale.
Besides, in it the author for the first time declares in a distinct
manner the doctrine of discrete degrees. For further particulars see
Document 313, no. 21.
26. Twelve chapters of Swedenborg’s Miscellanea Observata,
published by him in four parts during 1722.
These chapters he sent during the months of November and De
cember, 1721 , by letter to Ericus Benzelius, for the use of the
Literary Society at Upsal. Another chapter, which treats of a new
method of heating apartments, was published by Benzelius in the
Acta Literaria Sueciæ for 1722, pp. 282 to 285. All these papers
are photo-lithographed from pp. 182 to 200. For further particulars,
see Document 313, no. 29.
27. Memorial to the King, dated from Medevi, July 14,
1722, concerning an improved process in the working of
copper; pp. 201 and 202.
This memorial constitutes Document 249 in the present collection.
28. A Latin ode to King Frederic at Medevi, about the
same time addressed, p. 203.
29. A friendly reply to an objection of Prof. Quensel 292
to Swedenborg’s method of finding the longitude ; written
during the absence of the author by one of his friends,
p. 203.
This answer was originally printed in the Acta Literaria Sueciæ
for 1722, p. 315 et seq.
30. An experiment on the echo, pp. 205 et seq.
In the same MS. volume are further contained the originals of Docu
ments 42 and 52, and, likewise forty-four letters addressed by Sweden
borg to Ericus Benzelius between September, 1714, and August, 1724.
All these letters are contained in Section III of the present collection.
