1744. (75.) Experimenta Physica et Optica (Physical and
optical experiments) ; in MS ., pp. 6, folio.
This tract in the original Codex (no. 58) constitutes a part of
no. 73, with which it is, however, not necessarily connected. It
treats of the following subjects :
1. Physical experiments of Desaguille and Hawksbee, with Sweden
borg’s inductions ; also Newton’s three rules of motion.
2. Experiments and rules in optics, derived from Robert Smith,
Newton, Hooks, Descartes, and others ; with Swedenborg’s inductions.
3. The colours of the rainbow; a description of the facts, with
Swedenborg’s inductions in respect to colours and their origin.
4. The eye and the rays of light.
5. The ideas derived from sight and touch.
The MS. is photo-lithographed in Vol. VI of the Swedenborg
MSS., pp. 102 to 107.
1744. (76.) De Cerebro (On the Brain), in MS., pp. 43,
folio.
On July 4, 1744, the author says in the Diary of that year,
"This signifies that I have now finished writing on the senses in
general and the operation of the interior faculties ; which subject in
the form in which I have sketched it [no. 73] cannot be [generally]
comprehended; and that now I approach the following part which
treats of the brain." See Document 209, p. 199 .
As no. 73, which immediately precedes this treatise in the original
MS. volume, was the first draught of Vol. III of the New Series of
the Regnum Animale, so the present treatise was intended by the
author as the first draught of Vol. IV of that same series. This
volume, however, was never finished by the author.
The contents of this work, which is the third treatise on the
Brain begun by the author, are described in Document 310, Codex 58,
where also further particulars respecting it may be found.
