CHRONOLOGICAL ACCOUNT.
illustris, författadt afframledne Lagman Apelblad" 300 (Biblio
theca illustris, written by the late Judge Apelblad).
Although the editor of these Documents had no oppor
tunity of examining the book in question himself, the Royal
Librarian, Mr. Klemming, with whom he had a conversation
on the subject, denied emphatically that Swedenborg was its
author. Besides, Swedenborg returned home, after an absence
of nearly four years and a half, on November 3, 1740, and it
is scarcely credible that immediately on returning home he
should have written and published the above work, especially
as he had then still in hand the publication of his great
work, the " Economia Regni Animalis," which was published
in 1740 and 1741.
1740 and 1741. (57.) Introductio ad Psychologiam Rationalem,
cujus hæc prima pars de fibra, de tunica arachnoidea, et de
morbis fibrarum agit (Introduction to Rational Psychology,
the first part of which treats of the fibre, the arachnoid
tunic and the diseases of the fibres), in MS., 366 pages, 4to.
This work constituted originally a portion of Transaction V mentioned
in no. 56, A. The complete synopsis of this Transaction, as contained
on p. 351 of Vol. VI of the Photo-lithographed MSS. of Sweden
borg, is as follows:
"TRANSACTION V.
Introduction to Rational Psychology.
The cortical substance.
The medullary substance of the brain, and the nervous substance
of the body.
The arachnoid tunic.
The doctrine of order and degrees, as well as of society.
The doctrine of forms.
The doctrine of correspondences and representations.
The doctrine of modifications.
Ontology or fundamental philosophy."
The above work which we denominate Part I of this "Introduction
to Rational Psychology," is constituted by Sections I, II, and III
of Codex 74 (Document 309), which treat of the following subjects:
1. The cortical and medullary substances of the brain.
2. The nature of the fibres, and the nerves compounded there
from in the body.
3. The doctrine of forms.
