MR. WHITE. 1317
(8.) In Vol. I. p. 328, he says, "There is nothing in the ’Arcana
Coelestia’ to oppose the conclusions of Darwin, Lyell, and Huxley”
[on the subject of man’s derivation from the beast] !!!
VIII.
INACCURACIES.
(1.) White dates Swedenborg’s Rostock letter (Document 46) from
Greifswalde (I, p. 37).
(2.) He calls Baron C. "Feif" (Note 106) "Pfiff" (I, p. 42).
(3.) Count "Stenbock" he calls "Steinbock" (I, p. 45).
(4.) Says the Dedalus, which was published in 1716, introduced
Swedenborg to Polhem (I, p. 47), when yet Swedenborg as early as
1710 spent several months with Polhem at Stjernsund (see Docu
ment 38).
(5.) Says "Skinsburg," instead of "Skinskatteberg" (I, p. 63).
(6.) Says "the complete MS. work of the ’ Specimens of Chemistry’
at this day rests in the library of the Royal Academy of Sciences
at Stockholm" (I, p. 64). The Academy never had this MS.
(7.) Says "it would seem that in 1722 he came for the first time
into the full pay of his Assessorship" (I, p. 70). Swedenborg did
not get the full salary of assessor until 1730 (Document 158, D).
(8.) Under the date of 1724, he introduces a letter Swedenborg
wrote in 1716 (Document 61).
(9.) Says Swedenborg inscribed the whole of his Opera Philo
sophica, &c., to Duke Rudolph (I, p. 82). Only one volume was in
scribed to him; the two other volumes Swedenborg dedicated to
the King of Sweden, and to his brother the Landgrave William of
Hesse-Cassel.
(10.) Says the King pensioned Swedenborg off with full salary
(I, p. 250). Swedenborg, at his own request, was pensioned off with
half his salary (Document 167).
(11.) Says "we owe the account of Swedenborg’s and Beyer’s
meeting to Robsahm" (II, p. 301). It is due to Wenngren (Docu
ment 280).
(12.) Says "Robsahm tells story of young man who would kill
Swedenborg" (II, p. 496). It is Pernety who tells it (Document 6,
no. 12).
(13.) Says "for seven years, viz. from 1736-1743 we have no
knowledge of Swedenborg" (I, p. 121) ; when yet on p. 119 he gives
an extract from the Itinerarium for 1739.
