NOTE 194.
PETER HAMMARBERG.
Peter Hammarberg, merchant and banker of Gottenburg, and
member of the town-council, was the brother-in-law of Dr. Beyer
and an intimate friend of Dr. Rosén, and also of Swedenborg. By
him Swedenborg was first made acquainted with Dr. Ekebom’s attack
upon himself and Dr. Beyer (Document 245, p. 296). In writing
to Beyer Swedenborg sometimes mentioned Messrs. Hammarberg
and Wenngren in Gottenburg, and desired to be kindly remembered
to them (Document 245, p. 309). On p. 384 we read that Mr.
Hammarberg gave orders to a seacaptain to purchase a few sets
of Swedenborg’s works, from which it appears that he was interested
in the spread of the doctrines in Sweden. In 1787 he became a
member of the Exegetic-Philanthropic Society.
NOTE 195.
COUNCILLOR WENNGREN.
Councillor Wenngren was another of Swedenborg’s friends in
Gottenburg. To him Swedenborg addressed a letter dated Jan. 8,
1770 (Document 245, p. 321), and to him also he sent his respects
in a letter addressed to Dr. Beyer (Document 245, p. 309). Wenngren
seems to have been present when Swedenborg first made the acquain
tance of Drs. Beyer and Rosén; for from him emanates Docu
ment 299, where this meeting is described. He also became a
member of the Exegetic-Philanthropic Society in 1787.
NOTE 196.
BARON ROSIR.
Baron John Rosir, Chancellor of Justice, to whom the case
of Drs. Beyer and Rosén and of the Consistory of Gottenburg
was committed by the King (see Document 245, p. 315), was born
in 1709 of poor parents. After finishing his studies in the Univer
sity of Upsal, he was attached to the Court of Appeals in Stockholm
(Svea Hofrätt). He afterwards gradually rose to the post of
secretary of revision (revisions-sekreterare) in 1750, and in 1769 was
appointed chancellor of justice, of which office, however, he was
deprived again by the Swedish Diet in 1772, when he resumed his
