CHRONOLOGICAL ACCOUNT.
concerning the Soul, and the Harmony between it and the Body
in general).
After an address to the reader, in which the author gives the
reason why he prefers to appear in public with several shorter
treatises on the human soul (viz. nos . 61 to 65) rather than with one
large work, he treats the following three points :
1. The mind never reposes truly on any sytem concerning the
intercourse and harmony between the mind and the body, if that
system supposes an unknown and incomprehensible element." Two
pages are missing in this chapter.
1. "The mind does not repose in the system of Preëstablished
Harmony, because it involves unknown, incomprehensible elements
and occult qualities." This chapter is complete.
3. The mind does not receive it for certain that the soul is a
purely simple substance, unless it know precisely the kind of simple
substance." Thirty-two pages are wanting in the middle of this
article ; and after continuing for eight more pages the rest of the
MS. is wanting. For further particulars, see Document 310,
Codex 74, no. ix.
This treatise was printed by the Swedenborg Association in Latin
in a volume entitled, Opuscula Philosophica, which was issued in
1846 under the editorship of Dr. J. J. Garth Wilkinson, and of
which they published an English translation in 1847 bearing the
title, Posthumous Tracts, under the same editorship.

This tract is introduced by the statement, that "the blood contains
all organic forms from the primary spiritual to the ultimate angular,
and in this respect is the compendium and complex of all the forms
of nature." In 23 chapters the author first discusses the red blood
and its globules, and then passes to a consideration of the purer
blood, and finally of the purest, which is the "animal spirits."
It was evidently intended first as an introductory section to
Transaction VI (see no. 67), where it was intended as section 4.
It was likewise printed in 1846, in the volume entitled Opuscula
Philosophica (pp. 15 to 32), which appeared in the following year
in English bearing the title, "Posthumous Tracts" (see no. 61).
