"Swedenborg (1688-1772) philosopher, scientist, mystic, and founder of a sect that bears his name. This collected works is called by Partington, '... his most important scientific work.' The first work here is the Principia rerum naturalium which was probably conceived as a counterpart to Newton's Principia. '...he sought a comprehensive physical explanation of the world based on mathematical and mechanical principles. While remaining faithful to the general principles of Cartesian natural philosophy...Swedenborg elaborted upon them." DSB. Swedenborg's Principia Rerum Naturalium is an important book in the history of science, representing some of the earliest systematic accounts of electromagnetism. The Principia is also an important point in the spiritual-philosophical development of Swedenborg himself, as it represents one of his first attempts to conjoin matter and spirit, or the physical with the metaphysical. "This is the author's famous work on science. Vol. I. contains 250 pages [sic.] of printed matter with diagrams and illustrations on the causes and mechanism of magnetic force; the law of distance; magnetic declination, its causes and how its value may be calculated" (Wheeler Gift, 164). Dresden, Leipzig: 1734. Hyde 228 - 230, calling for 110 plates only. HBS 68613. $16,500.

New York: G. Schirmer [PN 42196c], 1944. Octavo. Full dark green cloth, titling gilt to spine. 1f. (title, instrumentation), 58 pp. Binding slightly rubbed and shaken. First Edition. Rufer (E), p. 71-72. GA B/14, p. 55-57. "It was Carl Engel, the president of Schirmer Publishing in New York, who suggested to Schönberg that he compose the Theme and Variations for Full Band, Op. 43. Engel had two objectives in mind; for one thing, he believed that the American wind band repertoire should be enriched by a challenging work from an outstanding composer of new music and, for another, he thought that a success in that medium, so popular in America, could help Schönberg out of his financial difficulties. ... Even while the piece was still being written, it soon became clear that the complexity of Schönberg's setting could possibly exceed the technical capabilities of most American wind bands. So, in a letter dated August 16, 1942, Greissle suggested that Schönberg make a version for symphony orchestra - and the composer seems to have taken up the task with alacrity; the version for symphony orchestra (Op. 43b) must have been finished in October 1943." © Schott Music, Mainz / Universal Edition, Vienna.
