Emanuel Swedenborg, by Clarence w.
Barron OF the Wall Street Journal,
the world famous financial authority.
Mr.. Barron declares that Cali
Curci has the most wonderful brain
he has ever met or heard of in a
woman, although she is much more
"a true woman with life and soul
of affection for all that is ennobling
and uplifting in the family, and in
color, form, and music"
Mr.. Barron is chairman of the
Rotch Trustees, who acting under the
will of Lydia S. Rotch of New Bed
ford, Mass, began in 1872 modern
translation of the Theological Works
which Emanuel Swedenborg wrote
and published in the Latin tongue,
and deposited in the libraries of the
world $50 years ago.
This work was completed and pub
lished by the Houghton Miaiin Co. in
81 volumes in 1907.
About three years ago there ap-
peared in a Cleveland paper q para

plishments Galh-Curci had read all
