Doc. 313.] CHRONOLOGICAL ACCOUNT. 907
This motion is considered by the author first in inorganic, and
afterwards in organic nature ; where he shows how it affects the
membranes and tunics in the body. For further particulars, see
Document 310, Codex 88, I.
1724 to 1733. (40.) Adversaria in Principia Rerum Natu
ralium (Papers belonging to the Principia, &c.) ; in
MS., 13 pages, 4to.
These papers treat on the following subjects: 1. Materials for
the preface; 2. Definition of the natural point ; 3. The motion and
the figure of the motion of that point; 4. The point geometrically
considered ; 5. The point metaphysically considered ; 6. Further
derivations from the point; 7. Definition of the first particle ;
8. Nature is similar to the web of a spider ; 9. Concerning the
order of the particles. For further particulars, see Document 310,
Codex 88, V.
1724 to 1733. (41.) De mechanismo animæ et corporis
(The mechanism of the
the soul and body) ; in MS .,
16 pages, 4to.
This seems to be the first cast of the work published by the
author in 1734 under the title : Prodromus Philosophiœ Ratiocinantis
de Mechanismo operationis Animo et Corporis. The arrangement
and treatment of these two works are, however, entirely different ;
for in the above work the author approaches his subject more
analytically and inductively as it were; while in the latter he treats
it more philosophically and synthetically. These two treatises are
therefore supplementary to one another, and they exhibit clearly
the relations which Swedenborg supposed to exist between the soul
and the body, before his illumination.
For further particulars, see Document 310, Codex 88, VI.
contained in the Common-place book in which he entered a description
of the journeys which he made in 1733 and 1734. This description,
however, does not run on consecutively in that book, but is written on the
intermediate blank leaves between the above five treatises, as appears from
the following statement : No. 39 extends from pp. 3-7 ; No. 40 is written
on pp. 40, 47, 49, 50-55, 86, and 87 ; No. 41 on pp. 116 to 131 ; No. 43 on
pp. 152 to 158; and No. 42 on pp. 159 to 213. No. 44, however, which
is Swedenborg’s journal of travels is contained on pp. 9-39, 46, 48–50,
55-86, 107-109, 214, and 215. If Swedenborg’s journal of travels,
however, which was written in 1733 and 1734, is entered on the inter
mediate leaves between the above five treatises, these treatises must have
eben in the book before 1733, and thus written between 1724 and 1733.
