logical writings. In these works, the spiritual sense of the Bible is not given, but they are, nevertheless, important to the Church, as they contain Swedenborg's first labours in the investigations of the Word.

7. De Messia venturo in Mundum, etc., 64 pages, oblong folio (No. 38, S. C.).

This is a continuation, or rather the beginning of the Dicta Probantia, published by Dr. Imanuel Tafel, in 1848. These two works contain the next step which Swedenborg took in his theological career; they consist of the different passages of the Word, which illustrate the various points of doctrine contained in the creeds.

8. Portions of Swedenborg's copy of Sebastian Schmidius' translation, of the Bible into Latin, with Swedenborg's annotations, where he gives the spiritual sense of many chapters of the Bible; about 40 pages, 4to. Many of these annotations have been mutilated by the binder.

B. Scientific and Philosophical Writings.

9. Scientific Papers, written between 1714 and 1721, which are preserved in the cathedral-library of Linköping, among the papers of the late Archbishop Ericus Benzelius. The volume in which they are contained, is No. 40 of the Benzelius' Collection, and bears the following title, "Collectanea Physico-Mathematica, with several papers concerning the Natural History of Sweden, containing documents read before the Library Society in Upsala."

(25.) Concerning the Rise and Fall of Lake Wenner, etc., 2 copies, one containing 7 pages, 4to., and the other 12 pages, 4to. A summary of this paper was published in the "Acta Literaria Sueciæ," Vol. 1.

(26.) A Treatise, containing Swedenborg's first investigations of the anatomy and physiology of the human body; it may be regarded as the first draught of the "Animal Kingdom," 46 pages, 4to., incomplete. The Swedenborg Society owns an attested copy of this paper.

(27.) Experiment on the Echo, 2 pages, large folio. This paper was also copied for the Swedenborg Society or Association.

(28.) Memorial addressed to the King, dated Medevi, (a Swedish Spa), July 14, 1722, concerning the promotion of copper mining in Sweden, which is followed by a Latin ode, addressed to the King, 4 pages, folio.

The whole of this Collection is written in Swedish-it embraces altogether 181 pages of different sizes.

10. A Treatise on Vitriol, concerning the different modes of mining it, and extracting the metals from it afterwards, 446 pages, 4to (No. 85, S. C.).

13. The different Processes for Separating Silver and Copper, 363 pages, 4to (No. 84, S. C.).

These four treatises, which are written in Latin, are parts of a very extensive work on Metallurgy, of which Swedenborg published a Prospectus in 1722. The title of the work was to be "De Genuina Metallorum Tractatione," and it was to consist of 19 parts. Parts i., vii., and ix., treating of the metallurgy of Copper, Iron and Zinc, were subsequently published by Swedenborg in 1734, under the title of "Opera Philosophica et Mineralia," but the remaining parts, with the exception of the four treatises enumerated above, do not seem to have been written by him.

14. Concerning the Different Blasting Furnaces in use in Sweden, 125 pages, 4to (No. 99, S. C.).

This is the copy of a paper handed in by Swedenborg to the
College of Mines, and dedicated to the President, and the
members of the College. It is not in the handwriting of
Swedenborg, but in that of an amanuensis by the name of Joh.
Schütze. It is written in Swedish.

15. A Treatise on Mathematics, 164 pages, 4to (No. 86, S. C.).
This work consists of six parts. 1st, Algebra, with some inde-
pendent algebraic investigations, where Swedenborg shews how
equations may be reduced to analogies, and thus be abbrevi-
ated, 23 pages; 2nd, on the Principles of the Differential
Calculus, 23 pages; 3d, on the Integral Calculus, 4 pages,
unfinished; 4th, Geometrical Investigations into the nature of

the different curves, 84 pages; 5th, Mechanical Rules, 3 pages; 6th, Geometrical and Algebraical Rules in Physics, 6 pages.

The remainder of the volume contains various mathematical, physical and anatomical excerpts, also the plan of a large mathematical work on Curves, which is followed by a paper on motion, 21 pages.

16. A Treatise on the Magnet, 265 pages, text, and 34 pages, tables, 4to (No. 81, S. C.).

This work is a digest of all that had been written up to Swedenborg's time on the subject of the Magnet, with some of his own experiments. According to the title page, he had intended it for publication in London, in 1722.

17. The Principles of the Things of Nature.-"Principia Rerum Naturalium," which in order to distinguish it from the "Larger Principia," published by Swedenborg himself, may be called the "Lesser Principia," 560 pages, 4to (No. 87, S. C.).

This is a most important work; for it is an almost indispensable introduction to the larger work; it contains in fact the mathematics necessary for a proper understanding of the latter work. 18. A Work consisting of Definitions in Metallurgy, Mining, Chemistry, Botany, Anatomy, Pathology, Ontology, with excerpts from Cicero, Plautus, Florus, and from the works of Christ. Wolffius, 263 pages, oblong folio (No. 37, S. C.).

(1.) Journal of Travels, 142 pages,-this portion of the volume was published by Dr. Tafel, under the title of "Itinerarium"-he printed it from a faulty copy.

(2.) Concerning the Motion of the Elements, 5 pages.

(3.) The Mechanism of the Soul and Body, 67 pages,—this treatise is different from that which Swedenborg published on the same subject, in the work on the "Infinite."

(4.) Excerpts from Wolffius, 93 pages.

(5.) An Abstract of the "Larger Principia," 36 pages.

(6.) Excerpts from Schurigius, concerning the generative organs,

41 pages.

(7.) Excerpts from various anatomists about the brain, 325 pages. The lost portion of the volume consisted :

(1.) An Attempt to represent the results at which Swedenborg had arrived in his physiological investigations, by symbols, like those in use now in Chemistry, 5 pages.

(2.) Concerning the bones of the skull, and ossification, 3 pages, (part of this is missing).

(3.) A transaction concerning the dura mater, 39 pages.

(4.) Extracts from various anatomists, 69 pages.

21. Index of the " Economy," and the first part of the "Animal Kingdom," 55 pages, oblong folio (No. 38, S. C.).

22. Transactions ii. and iii. on the Brain, 896 pages, 4to (No. 65,S. C.) This work was written before the "Economy," and the “Animal

Kingdom." All the quotations from the anatomists are crossed out in this work and removed to another larger work on the Brain.

23. Part iii. of the Animal Kingdom; the chapters on the eye and ear, 68 pages, folio (No. 53, S. C.).-Swedenborg only published a portion of this Part.

24. Part v. 2 of the "Animal Kingdom." The large work on the "Brain," 636 pages, folio (No. 55, S. C.).

25. Comparative Physiology, 79 pages, folio (No. 53. S. C.); where Swedenborg, on the basis of Swammerdam's microscopical investigations, compares the organism of man with that of the insects and mollusca.

26. Part vi. of the Animal Kingdom, 91 pages folio (No. 58, S. C.). Contents: the chapters on taste and the sense of feeling, which

were left out by Dr. Tafel, when he published the volume; also the beginning of a third important work on the brain.

27. Ontology, 16 pages folio (No. 54, S. C.).

A most interesting treatise, in which Swedenborg gives his own definitions of the terms used by the philosophers.

28. A Philological Investigation into the nature of the Soul, 279 pages, oblong folio (No. 36, S. C.).

In this work Swedenborg collects under appropriate heads all that the following authorities have said on the nature of the soul, viz., Plato, Aristotle, Augustinus, Grotius, Leibnitz, Wolffius, Malebranche, Cartesius, Rydelius, Bilfingerus, the Sacred Scrip
