∗ The full title of this bestial fabrication is Swedenborg's Drömmar,1744, jemte an dra Hansanteckniijar. Efter original-handskrifter medellade af, G. E. Klemming, Stockholm, 1859. Among those who were soonest and most easily befooled by this gross and palpable fraud was the author of a so-called “Life of Sweden-borg,” which, in common justice, must be pronounced to be a farrago of egregious folly and vanity, literary blunders, garbled quotations, and coarse calumnies, deserving of the henrty execiation of all who cherish the least regard for common honesty and candour, in literary matters. This is obviously not the place to expose in detail the stnpid and disgusting exhibitions of ignorant and malignant mendacity in question. It will suffice to have thus called attention to the subject, apparently for the first time; and to have in dicated to the reader the true character of the BO-called “Dream Book.”Google Scholar
