Excerpt from Documents Concerning the Life and Character of Emanuel Swedenborg WE here present to the English Reader the following Documents concerning the Life and Character of the Hon. Emanuel Swedenborg. They were collected and edited with great care in the German language by the learned Dr. J. F. I. Tafel, of Tubingen. As the theological writings of Swedenborg are beginning to be ex tensively read throughout Europe and America, a great call has been made for a Biography of this distinguished and enlightened author. These Documents were collected as materials to com pose his biography, but as (says Dr. These Documents, when properly arranged, form a complete body of information, which can, with great propriety, be published by itself, I have thought it proper to present them to the public as a forerunner to the Biography itself, to which I am now devoting all the time I can spare.

Excerpt from Documents Concerning the Life and Character of Emanuel Swedenborg, Vol. 1: Collected, Translated, and Annotated In the year 1868, the editor, while professor at the Washington University of St. Louis, Missouri, was requested by the General Convention of the New Church in America to undertake a journey to Sweden, for the purpose of securing a photo-lithographic reproduction of all the unpublished manuscripts of Swedenborg. He accordingly embarked for Europe at the end of July of the same year, and towards the end of September arrived in Stockholm, where he at once entered upon the work of his important mission. After accomplishing the preliminary part of his task, that of making a most minute and careful examination of the Swedenborg Mss., which are preserved in the Library of the Academy of Sciences in Stockholm, he, while engaged one day in the Royal Library in turning over some of its literary treasures, laid his hand upon some documents respecting Swedenborg which had never been published in the English language. It was then that the idea occurred to him of not only making an exhaustive examination of the author's unpublished writings, but also of collecting such documents respecting him as might still be in existence, scattered over the various parts of his native country.
