SWEDENBORG’S WRITINGS.
then the analytical treatment replaced the synthetical so far that
the author resolved to treat the dominion of the red blood which
is governed by the heart, before that which is presided over by
the brain.
The sixth title is a further emendation of the fifth, and consists
of the form which bears the greatest similarity to that which was
finally adopted by the author for his printed work; it is as follows :
Economia Regni Animalis in Transactiones divisa, quarum hæc
prima de sanguine, ejus arteriis, venis, corde, et in genere de mus
culis agit, anatomice, physice, et philosophice perlustrata (The Economy
of the Animal Kingdom, divided into transactions, of which the first
treats of the blood, its arteries, veins, and the heart, and in general
concerning the muscles ; examined anatomically, physically, and philo
sophically).
The full title of Part I of the work as finally adopted by Sweden
borg is as follows : Economia Regni Animalis in Transactiones
divisa; quarum hæc prima de sanguine, ejus arteriis, venis, et corde
agit: anatomice, physice, et philosophice perlustrata ; cui accedit
introductio ad Psychologiam rationalem (The Economy of the Animal
Kingdom divided into transactions, the first of which treats of
the blood, its arteries, veins, and the heart ; considered anatomically,
physically, and philosophically; to which is added an Introduction
to rational Psychology). The full title of Part II is Transactio
Secunda, de Cerebri motu et cortice, et de Anima humana (Second
Transaction concerning the motion and the cortex of the Brain, and
concerning the human Soul).
The first edition of this work was published in 1740 and 1741 ;
a second edition which, however, does not differ from the first
except in the title-page, is dated 1742. Part I was furnished with
an index by the author; the index to Part II, which was left in
MS. (see Document 310, Codex 38, no. 1), is printed in Vol. VI of
Swedenborg’s Photo-lithographed MSS., pp. IX to XI.
An English translation of this work prepared by the Rev.
Augustus Clissold, M. A., was published in London in 1845, in
2 Vols, 8vo.; and was reprinted in America in 1868.
1740. (53.) Philosophia Universalium Characteristica et
Mathematica (A Characteristic and Mathematical Philosophy
of Universals), in MS., 5 pages, folio.
This is an attempt to represent the results at which the author
had arrived in his physiological investigations, by symbols, like those
in use now in chemistry. For further particulars, see Document 310,
Codex 57, no. 1 .
