praktische Religion; auch über die Revision der bisherigen Theologie
(Conversations with Mr. Lavater on the subject of a free, practical
religion, and also on the " Brief Exposition of the Doctrines of the
New Church"), 1787. On this subject we read in the "New Jerusalem
Journal" for 1792, " The Brief Exposition’ has also of late met with
a German translator, somewhere in Saxony; the consequence of
which has been a violent attack upon it by a famous professor of
divinity at Halle, Jo. Sal. Semler"-then follows the title of the work.

FRICKER.
In his letter to Swedenborg (Document 314, B, p. 1031
) Etinger
says, "One thing I must beg of you that you will see my friend
Fricker, late assistant minister of the church in Dettingen, who also
embraced your principles ; that you would converse with him, and
report to me the substance of your conversation." In a letter to
Hartmann, dated December 24, 1771 , he says, "I received curious
accounts from Swedenborg. He has conversed with Fricker; he is
well off. Fricker it seems opposed him. Swedenborg says that
Fricker is constantly with me, that he inserts himself into my
ideas."
Concerning Fricker Etinger, according to Ehmann’s Biography
(p. 246), says, "Count von Castell called upon me, and asked me to
select for him a student, well trained in mathematics, and strong in
astronomy. I wrote for Magister Fricker of Tübingen. After
wards he was private tutor in the house of Cornelius von der Flint.
At last he returned to Würtemberg, and was appointed minister in
Dettingen, near Urach. He died young. He surpassed me, his
teacher, by far; especially in mathematics and physics. He discovered
his new theory of music ; but it is so profound that few are able
to acquire it. His theory is propounded in my book entitled, Sensus
communis, and also in several other books of mine" [e. g. in Volume II
of his "Earthly and Heavenly Philosophy," &c.]
