Mr.. Barron il chairman Of the
Rotch Trustees, who acting under the
will OF Lydia S. Rotch Of New Bed
ford, Mass, began in 1872 a modern
translation of the Theological Works
which Emanuel Swedenborg wrote
and published in the Latin tongue,
and deposited in the libraries of the
world 150 years ago.
This work was completed and pub
lished by the Houghton Miff1in Co. in
81 volumes in 1907.
About three years ago there ap-
peared in Cleveland paper a para
graph that among her other accom-
plishments Galli-Curci had read all
the Theological Writings of Emanuel
Swedenborg. The claim seemed so
absurd to Mr.. Barron that he thought
it might be easily punctured by a
limple inquiry as to the edition.
The Bible Greater Work Than Ever
To Mr.. Barron's direct inquiry
Madame Galli-Curci promptly re-
piled: Eyes, I have read in the past
year the complete Swedenborg Works,
in fact it is the Rotch Edition of the
Houghton Mifiin Co. that I have.
II can say certainly that the Bible
to me is a greater work than it was
before"
Mr.. Barron says: my astonish-
ment was intensified. Familiar over
many years with Swedenborg's gen
eral theological writings, | had set

for the sale of this edition.

shed my self-imposed task in four

econd reading, at my present rate of
rogress, in perhaps ten years. Was
possible that a woman with no
revious knowledge or relation to
hese books had really intelligently
cad them within a year?"
Swedsnborg's Writings
MI. Barron continues: "As an
economist writing state papers on
rights, measures, coinages and cur
encies, Swedenborg is easily COM
rehended. As an engineer transport
lg ships overland he is easily visual

reat mining industry of Sweden,
riting practical books on mining

alton of modern metallurgy, he is

tific history. AS the writer Of vol ;
