According to R. Stuart (Historical and Descriptive Anecdotes of Steam Engines, Vol. II., p. 61S), the author, who is not 

 included in the Biographic Generale, 'came to England in 1716 to obtain information regarding the mode of mining 

 followed at Newcastle. He remained in the neighbourhood for some years, and was employed as an engineer at a coal- 

 mine ; he was a pnpil of Desaguliers, and some of his improvements on the diving bell are described in the Doctor's 

 Experimental Philosophy. He returned to Sweden in 1726, and erected an atmospheric engine [swpral, the parts of which 

 he got fabricated iu England. He was captain of mechanics, and military architect to the King of Sweden ; and was in 

 correspondence with some of his friends in the Royal Society until his death. He invented a mode of warming 

 conservatories by hot water.' According to the Record of the Royal Society, he was elected a Fellow in 1731.
