SWEDENBORG MANUSCRIPTS
GIFT TO NEW ZEALAND. The Swedenborg Society, London, recently had a large folio photographic facsimile made of the whole of the Swedenborg manuscripts, many of which have not yet been published. These are comprised in large folio volumes, bound in white parchment. The copies were made at a cost of some thousands of pounds and sets were distributed to a few of the important libraries in the world.
Tjie society wrote to the librarian of the Turnbull Library, Wellington, Mr. Johannes Anderson, asking if the library would accept the set intended for New Zealand. It was accepted, and the volumes arrived in due course. The volumes were in preparation when the war broke out, and during the course of the war some of the first volumes were short-printed and the first six volumes were missing from the set sent to New Zealand. The Turn bull Library has now received a note from the society saying that it has been found possible to complete at least two of these volumes.
