NOTE 274.
C. G. VON BRINKMAN.
Carl Gustav von Brinkman, the President of the Royal Academy
of Sciences, who was interested in the restoration of the Sweden
borg MSS. to that institution (see Document 309, p. 825), was born
in 1764. He was a poet, and a man of great learning. At one
time he was Swedish minister at the court of Great Britain. He
was one of the eighteen members of the Swedish Academy, and was
possessed of a most valuable library which, after his death in 1847,
enriched the University library of Upsal.

J. F. FÅHRÆUS.
John Frederic Fåhræus, who is mentioned in Document 309,
p. 832 in corection with the MS. of Swedenborg’s letters to
Dr. Beyer, occupied a prominent place in the civil service of Sweden ;
and was instrumental in introducing many reforms into it. In 1847
he became councillor of state (statsråd), and in 1856 was made
chief of the custom-house department. He was ennobled in 1857,
and died in 1865.
His wife was a daughter of Mårten Sturzenbecher, who was one
of Sweden’s philosophers. The wife of Sturzenbecher, Petronella
L. Enander, was a relative of Dr. Beyer,22 her mother’s name
having been M. Chr. Beyer (see " Biografiskt Lexicon," XVI, p. 177).

MARTIN SCHURIGIUS.
Extracts from the works of Schurigius are contained in Co
dices 53 and 88 of the Swedenborg MSS. (see Document 310, pp .
855 and 873). Martin Schurig was a physician living in Dresden
in the beginning of the eighteenth century. His works were published
between 1720 and 1744. Swedenborg appears to have made con
siderable use of his learned compilations. In Codices 53 and 88 he
has made excerpts from his works bearing the following titles:
Embryologia, Syllepsiologia, Parthenologia, Spermatologia, Gynæco
logia, and Chylologia.
