CHRONOLOGICAL ACCOUNT.
and finally it contains an Invitation to the New Church addressed
to all in the Christian world.
An English translation of this Summary, prepared by Mr. J. A.
Tulk,228 appeared in 1807 under the title, " A Brief Continuation ofthe
Crown or Appendix to the True Christian Religion, or Universal
Theology of the New Church," &c.

1771. (149.) Coronis, seu Appendix, ad Veram Christianam

deque Adventu Domini ad illam, et de Divino Auspicio

tionis (The Coronis, or Appendix, to the True Christian
Religion : containing an account of the Four Churches on
this Earth since the Creation of the World, and of their
periods and consummation. Likewise, an account of the
New Church about to succeed those Four, which will be
a truly Christian Church, and the Crown of the preceding
Churches. To which are added, Observations concerning
the Advent of the Lord to that Church, and His Divine
Auspices therein to eternity. And lastly, concerning the
mystery of Redemption), in MS.
Concerning this work we read in the " Samlingar för Philantroper"
for 1787, the organ of the Exegetic Philanthropic Society of Stock
holm, as follows: "1780. A Swedish traveller found in London, at
the house of Dr. Messiter (who died last year), a fragment of one
of Swedenborg’s MSS., which bore the following title, Coronis seu
Appendix ad Veram Christianam Religionem," &c. This MS. our
countryman published at his own expense, and he has since dis
covered a supplement to it, which, however, has not yet been printed."
In Pernety’s List of Swedenborg’s MSS., which was published in
1782 (Document 305), we read as follows, "One MS. remained in
London in the hands of Dr. Messiter, which was subsequently printed
by the care of Mr. Aug[ustus] N[ordensköld] under the following
title, Coronis," &c. Again in a letter which A. Nordensköld wrote
to Finland in 1782, and which is quoted in Document 309, B, we
read, "Twenty copies of the book, which, as you are aware, I had
printed in London, arrived in this country about six months ago."
