SIXTY-SEVENTH CRITICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY

OF THE

HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE AND OF THE HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION

THIS bibliography is an exceptional one, being devoted exclusively to the articles published in Lychnos (for the years 1941 to 1943, Uppsala I941-43), and to the books reviewed in these three volumes. These volumes were obtained in January I945, thanks to the kindness and courtesy of the Legation of Sweden in Washington. Our reason for devot- ing a special bibliography to them, ahead of our regular bibliography which will appear in the next number of Isis, is obvious enough. The works published or discussed in Lychnos have remained largely unknown to our readers because of the war; the reviews, it should be noted, do not concern only Swedish or Scandinavian publications, but many others which appeared recently in Finland, Ger- many, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, the Nether- lands, France, or Italy; a few of them are devoted to English and American books or to the translations of such books. We do not usually mention reviews of items which we have not been able to examine ourselves; in this case, however, we had to depend almost exclusively on the information given in Lychnos, for most of the original books were out of our reach.

Lychnos, it may be recalled, is the annual volume published by the Swedish History of Science Society since 1936, under the editorship of our colleague and friend, JOHAN NORDSTR6M, professor of the

history of learning in the venerable University of Uppsala. The first volume was reviewed in Isis, 26, I77-80, and the volumes for the years 1936 to 1940 were analyzed in Isis as soon as was pos- sible. It should be noted that these analyses and the one which we are publishing below do not exhaust the very rich contents of Lychnos. Indeed, the field of Lychnos is somewhat broader than that of Isis. The Swedish subtitle of those volumes is Lardoms- historiska samfundets arsbok (Yearbook of the Soci- ety for the History of Learning). Learning is given more space than science, while in Isis the opposite is true. Moreover, some of the publications reviewed in Lychnos, being devoted to the history of education and learning in Sweden or Scandinavia, would not interest the majority of our readers. Those of our readers who would be especially interested in Scandinavian matters should go straight to Lychnos,

that is, they should become members of the Swedish group.

Further information will be found in the article, History of Science in Sweden, kindly prepared by Dr. STEN LINDROTH, of Uppsala, which will appear in a forthcoming number of Isis.

To conclude, we wish to express our deep ad- miration to the Swedish Society, to its editor, and collaborators who had the courage and perseverance to continue this admirable work in spite of the almost insuperable difficulties caused by the war. Sweden is giving to all of us a high example which we are, alas, not able to emulate!

The notes published in this bibliography were selected by me; they were typed by Miss FRANCES SIEGEL, and the typing and proofs read by Dr. ALEXANDER POGO.

Bodman, Gosta. AUGUST NORDENSKI6LD, alchemist to King GUSTAVUS III. Lychnos, I89- 229 (in Swedish, with summary in English), I943.

"AUGUST NORDENSKIOLD, belonging to the later on well-known family of that name, was born in Finland in I754. Early he devoted himself to chemistry and the art of mining and was given an appointment in the Bergskollegium in Stockholm, where he started upon a

career which in all probability would have carried him far. He was, however, also strongly affected by the alchemical theory of transmutation, and, like some other members of his family, by a religiousness of a mystical, Swedenborgian nature. It is as an alchemist he is treated in this paper. In 1779 NORDENSKIOLD left his appoint- ments in Sweden and went to England, where he met GUMPERTZ LEVISON, a Jewish physician. They elab- orated a plan together to offer the alchemical secrets of NORDENSKI6LD to GUSTAVUS III, King of Sweden. Having returned to Sweden NORDENSKIOLD was in- stalled in Stockholm with his alchemical outfit at the King's cost, but after some time this work came to an end, and NORDENSKI6LD went to Finland, where he had got a situation. He was still, however, chiefly con- cerned with alchemy, whose fundamental problems he has treated in a number of short tracts. In a very interesting correspondence, CARL FREDRIK BERGKLINT, his assistant, has given us an excellent insight into the hard work of his master to find the philosopher's stone. He met with difficulties of different kinds, but in 1788 we again find him working in secret as alchemist to the King, this time at Drottningholm Palace under the supervision of Governor A. F. MUNCK. An interesting contract concerning these alchemical works of his has been preserved, the full text of which is given above. He did not, however, reach the results wished for and was discharged from his duties. During his last years he led a restless life, sometimes in England, where he was active on behalf of the Swedenborgian doctrine. At last he entered into connexion with the Sierra Leone companies. As a mineralogist and geologist in one of these he went to Africa in 1792, but he met with illness and hardships and his chequered life ended at Freetown in the month of December of that year."

"GUMPERTZ LEVISON, born in Berlin of Jewish par- ents in the I740's, came to England in I77I. There, after studying medicine under different teachers, JOHN HUNTER for one, he became a doctor at the General Medical Asylum in London, and soon also made a name for himself as an author of medical and theological works -the latter mainly written in Hebrew. In 1779 he came into contact with the Swedish alchemist and Swedenborgian, AUGUST NORDENSKIOLD. Together with him, LEVISON succeeded in obtaining the financial sup- port of the Swedish king, GUSTAVUS III, for NORDEN- SKIOLD'S alchemic experiments, for which a laboratory was set up in Stockholm. During his stay in Stockholm in 1780 LEVISON also attempted to interest the king in his plan of instituting in the Swedish capital a dispensary for the sick poor, on the pattern of a similar institution he had set up previously in London. LEVISON also tendered his services to the king as a biblical philologian, apparently suggesting to the king that the English theologian and orientalist ANSELM BAYLY be invited to come to Sweden as his collaborator. GUSTAVUS III appointed LEVISON to a titulary professorship - he was the first unchristened Jew of modern times to be hon- oured in this way. Nevertheless, LEVISON shortly after- wards left Sweden under circumstances of which no de- tails are known. He settled down in Hamburg in 1782, where he had a flourishing medical practice, was appointed physician to the Swedish Legation, and pursued his medical, theological and philological authorship to his death in I797."

pendently of the Lychnos volumes, it is fitting to review it in this Swedish bibliography. The Festschrift was

planned by a committee including ARNE TISELIUS, SVEN BROHULT, HARALD NORDENSON, ARNE WESTGREN, RAGNAR WINBLADH, who begin their introduction with the following statement: "On the 3oth of August 1944, THE SVEDBERG, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the

University of Uppsala, attains the age of 60 years. His colleagues, pupils and other friends in scientific and industrial circles have decided not to let him pass this milestone as undisturbed by celebrations as he himself might have wished. All of us have reason to thank THE SVEDBERG for what he has done for science, for our country and for ourselves. One often has a feeling that life does not give one sufficient opportunities of express- ing gratitude. This is perhaps especially true in the daily routine of scientific and industrial research in the laboratory and in meetings where such research is planned and organized, which is the normal environment in which we have had our most frequent contact with THE SVEDBERG. His birthday offers us, however, such an

opportunity and the present volume is thus above all an expression of our gratitude." Most of the articles are technical, except a few printed at the end.

"Reflections on Scientific Research and Industrial Development," by H. NORDENSON. "Anders Gustaf Ekebergs kemiska fSre- lisningar. 805o-181x," by A. WESTGREN.

This is proved by the fact that it is founded on the true order of the planets, which was unknown in Babylonia. It was created in Egypt, but not by the Egyptian priests, who adopted it only with hesitation; in Egyptian reliefs it does not appear until towards the end of the second century B.C. Astrology became popular when the Julian calendar put a handy means for astrological prognostics into the hands of the laymen."
