CHRONOLOGICAL ACCOUNT.
Economia Regni Animalis, under the head of "Introduction to Rational
Psychology." The doctrine of correspondences and representations
is contained in no. 59, and the chapter on ontology in no. 68.
The full contents of the present part are given in Document 310,
Codex 74, where also further particulars respecting it may be found.
This volume was published in London in 1847, under the editor
ship of Dr. J. J. Garth Wilkinson, as Economia Regni Animalis,
Transactio III.
There is no doubt that Swedenborg throughout the whole of this
work makes constant reference to "Transactions I and II," or Vols. I
and II of the Economia, &c. We believe also that was written
while the author was seeing the latter work through the press in
1740 and 1741. Yet as he about that time prepared the plan of his
Regnum Animale, and as he intended to absorb into that work all
that he had written after 1739 on the nature of the soul and body,
it seems as if the above work ought to be classed with the Regnum
Animale, and not with the Economia.
A portion of this treatise was announced by Swedenborg himself
for publication in 1742, under the title, The Medullary fibre of the
Brain, and the Nervous fibre of the Body. See Document 201 ,
Vol. I, p. 585.
As to the precise place which this treatise occupies in the amended
plan of the Regnum Animale, which was published in 1744, see no. 71 .
1740 and 1741. (58.) On the Declination of the Magnetic
Needle; a controversy between Emanuel Swedenborg and
Prof. Anders Celsius of Upsal. Read and discussed be
fore the Academy of Sciences in Stockholm in 1740 and
1741 .
The papers belonging to this controversy constitute Document 200 of
the present collection. See Vol. I, pp. 565-585.
1741. (59.) Introductio ad Psychologiam Rationalem, cujus
hæc secunda pars de Doctrina Correspondentiarum et
Repræsentationum agit (Introduction to Rational Psycho
logy, Part II, treating of the Doctrine of Correspondences
and Representations) ; in MS., 9 pages, folio.
This treatise was originally intended by the author to form a
part of the Transaction V, spoken of in nos. 56, A, and 57 , and it
was included by him afterwards in Vol. III of the original plan of
the Regnum Animale, as may likewise be seen by a reference to
nos. 56, A. and 57. It consists first of a short preface, in which Sweden
