		With tireless energy and enterprise, Christopher Polhem was active as both an entrepreneur and inventor in a country which, during his lifetime, went from being a major military power to a nation of scientific enquiry.
		Polhemâs parents were Christina Eriksdotter Schening from Vadstena and Wulf Christopher Polhammar, a German merchant who had emigrated to Visby where Polhem was born in 1661.
		Polhem thought that a technical laboratory ought to be an important part of the education of future engineers.

		Polhem was in the habit of boarding a few students to give them instruction, in some cases receiving a considerable fee in return.
		Polhem replied that he and his wife had resolutely made up their minds not to take any more strangers into their home.
		The first one to approach Polhem on the subject of Emanuel's visit, however, seems to have been Bishop Swedberg himself who, although not an enthusiast for science, was too broadminded to oppose his son's natural inclination.

		The author describes the operations from the earliest years: mining, wood management, haulage and pumping, smelting, refining, and culminating in the ingenious inventions of Christopher Polhem around 1700.
		In Christopher Polhem, Sweden (and thereby the mine) possessed a man who was perhaps the foremost mechanical engineer in Europe at the beginning of the century.
		Since the beginning of the 19th century the Copper Mountain and its fortunes have been by no means the major interest in the company that bears the mine’s name.

	Emanuel Swedenborg
		King Charles XII appointed the young man as an assistant to the brilliant, acerbic engineer Christopher Polhem, and Swedenborg spent the next five years publishing treatises on various scientific subjects.
		Swedenborg's relationship with Polhem was apparently more than just professional, seeing as Polhem approved of him sufficiently to allow him to court, and become engaged to, his daughter (this relationship seems to have ended when Swedenborg discovered that she was in love with another man).
		After the Polhem interlude, Swedenborg continued studying and travelling, eventually taking up a paid position as an assessor for the Swedish Board of Mines (1924 on).

	The Swedenborg Epic: Chapter 7
		Polhem's eldest daughter is betrothed to the king's chamberlain by the name of Mannerström.
		Obviously, it was to Maria that Swedenborg referred when he said that "she had promised herself to another person to whom she was more attached," for Maria had just then given her hand to Mannerström, whereas Emerentia was not married until five years later.
		As Polhem is known to have been quite grasping in money matters, one cause of the rift may possibly have been the salt company, in which both men were involved.
