1068 NOTES TO VOLUME II.
All this, however, is quite sufficient to establish the authenticity
of the Diary for 1743 and 1744, so far as Document 134 is con
cerned.
II. In Document 207 occur the names of the following persons:
Countess De la Gardie, Note 150.
Count Fersen, Note 151 .

Out of eighteen persons whose names occur in Swedenborg’s private
Diary for 1743, we are thus able historically to identify thirteen.
Of the Countess de la Gardie and Count Fersen we know besides that
in 1743 they travelled from Sweden to Paris ; and of Major Lantings
hausen that in 1743 he was major of the French regiment Alsace,
and thus was stationed abroad. With General Stenflycht Sweden
borg became acquainted in Paris in 1736, and concerning Claus
Philip von Schwerin we learn in Note 153 that he was commandant
of Stralsund in 1743, when he was visited by Swedenborg. C. J.
Benzelius started on his second journey abroad in 1743, as is shown
in Note 154, so that it seems quite probable that he should have
met his uncle Swedenborg in Stralsund in 1743. Again all that is
recorded about the Crown-Prince Adolphus Frederic and Prince
Augustus and their attendants, Barons Hamilton and Reuterholm,
Trievald and König, agrees with history, and it is not at all unlikely
that Swedenborg should have met them all in Hamburg in 1743.
III. Most of the persons whose names Swedenborg mentions in
Document 209, he saw in his dreams. The few persons whom he
met in reality, are the following:
* This is no doubt the "Kapten Schiechta" mentioned by Linnæus in his "Anteckningar
öfver Nemesis Divina" (p. 10), published by Prof. Fries, Upsal, 1848.
