WORKS OF SwEDENBoRG.-We are
pleased to see that J. B. Lippincott
& Co., are issuing handsome new
translation of the works of Emanuel
Swedenborg. The appearance of such
q fine edition, indicates that there is
growing demand for the works.
Messrs. Dufie & Chapman have, on
sale two works of this great author
'tDivine Love and WISDOM" and
s'Heaven and He'll"
"Divine Love and Wisdom" trans-
lated from DR.. Tafel's Latin edition,
by r. Norman Foster, is handsome
volume in octave, of 277 pages,
printed on tinted paper, and bound
in cloth, bevel edges. The price is
two dollars.
Those who have read and admired
Edgar Poe's "Eureka"-and who has
notP-and have been fascinated by
the genius with which Poe constructs
the universe out of grand particle
proper, leaving out the agency of
Creator; those, we say, who have
read that magnificent falsehood of
Poe, ought to read this 'Divine Love
and WISDOM" to see how simple is
truth, when seen from e Christian
standpoint, and how beautiful are
the glorious harmony and life of the
universe. Whoever reads Poe's work
will say-how beautiful, but how
cold Whoever reads Swedenborg's
work will say-how beautiful, how
vital and how worthy it's Creator
The theme of the work before Us,
however, is far broader and more
comprehensive than Eureka" which
touches only one of the many points
of this book. The popular idea of
Swedenborg is, that he was crazy.
The popular idea of the Christ was
that he had a devil. These popular
ideas are very similar. Swedenborg
aods crazy, if craziness consisted in
unfolding with luminous brilliancy
and humility the divine teachings Of
his Divine Master, Christ. And
Christ had devil, if to have devil
meant to do His Fathers work on
earth. We have never read work
table and Christian spirit than those
by this author.
"Heaven and Hell," is larger
work; and is devoted to the authors
views of the future life of angels and
devils in the spirit-world. It is got
ten up in the same style as the
''Diyine Love and WISDOM" with
full indexes, 453 pages, and sells at
$3.50. j.. w. d.
