former post as secretary of revision. In the same year, however,
he was appointed president of the Court of Appeals in Stockholm,
which office he filled until his death in 1789.
NOTE 197.
MAGISTER GOTHENIUS.
Johan Gothenius, a colleague of Drs. Beyer and Rosén, was born
in 1721 in Gottenburg, where his father was then a curate. He
visited the Universities of Lund, Upsal, and Göttingen from 1739 to
1756 ; in 1757 he received his degree of master of arts at Lund.
In 1760 he was appointed lector at the Gymnasium of Gottenburg.
In 1762 he was ordained into the ministry; and in 1768 was ap
pointed lector of logic and metaphysics. In 1772 he was made
doctor of theology; in 1780 he was appointed dean ; and he died in
1809. Gothenius was fellow-editor with Dr. Beyer of his Prediko
försök (Sermon- Essays), which created so much discussion (see
Document 245, p. 320). Bexell says, in his History of the Diocese
of Gottenburg, Gothenius was a man of rare scholarship, based on
a most thorough and profound study of the older classical literature,
and enriched by a most extensive knowledge of the literature of his
own times. There is scarcely any among the many periodicals that
were published during his time in Gottenburg, which he did not
enrich with contributions from his pen. He was a liberal theologian,
and did not join Dr. Ekebom in his narrow opposition to Drs. Beyer
and Rosén."
NOTE 198.
SENATOR STOCKENSTRÖM.
Count Eric Stockenström, to whom Swedenborg directed Dr. Beyer
to send a copy of his letter dated April 12, 1770 (Document 245 ,
p. 355), was born in 1703. After finishing his studies at the Uni
versity of Upsal, he entered the College of Mines in 1725 where he
no doubt became acquainted with Swedenborg. In 1747, when
Swedenborg left the College, he was its secretary. Soon after he
was transferred to the College of Chancery, where in 1749 he became
a secretary of revision, and in 1758 Chancellor of Justice. In 1769
he was appointed senator, and at the same time was created a baron
and a count. He finally became president of the College of Mines,
and died in 1790.
