A Latin edition of this little work, in a more compendions

was in due time followed by three further editions. See no. 30.
1718. (18.) Om Jordenes och Planetarnas Gång och Stånd:
thet är några bewisliga skiäl at jorden aftager i sitt lopp
och nu går longsammare än tilförene ; giörande winter och
sommar; dagar och natter lengre i anseende til tiden nu
än förut (On the motion and station of the earth and
the planets, i. e. some arguments showing that the earth
diminishes in its course, and goes more slowly than
heretofore ; causing winter and summer, days and nights
to be longer, in respect to time, than formerly). Skara,
Kjelberg; 40 pages, 16mo.
Concerning this little work Swedenborg says in Document 83,
under date of December 8, 1718, "I have also seen through the press
here my theory about the earth’s diminishing its course, which
I tried hard to make pleasant reading." In Document 85 he says,
"In my treatise ’Concerning the earth’s motion and station’ I main

and diurnal revolution, from which it must necessarily follow, that
it approaches nearer and nearer to the sun; for the more rapid the
motion and revolution of the planets within the solar vortex, the
greater is the distance to which they are carried from the centre;
but the slower the motion, the more they are drawn inwards." On
the death of Charles XII, whose sudden demise he mourns, Sweden
borg dedicated this publication to the Crown-Prince Frederic, under
date of December 16, 1718.

Of this little work two editions were published by Swedenborg,

pages. Both editions are dedicated to Queen Ulrica Eleonora on her
