iv. PREFACE.
added a few testimonies in favour of Swedenborg’s
writings from distinguished individuals, such as
Oberlin, the pious and celebrated pastor of Wald
bach ; and the late Rev. John Clowes, Rector of
St. John’s, Manchester ; also Swedenborg’s Address
in his senatorial character as member of the House
of Nobles, to the Estates of the Realm assembled
at the Diet in 1761. The arrangement which
the Editor has adopted is as follows : he has
placed those Documents first which contain the
testimonies of individuals who personally knew
Swedenborg ; secondly, he has inserted those
Documents, which testify most unequivocally to
Swedenborg’s intercourse with the spiritual world ;
and thirdly, he has concluded the volume with
letters and documents relating either directly, or
indirectly to Swedenborg and his important claims,
as a theological writer, upon the attention of
mankind.
The Editor begs also to observe, that the " In
troductory Observations, &c." are printed from the
English edition of Sandel’s Eulogium, of which
they form the Preface, and that the notes to the
Eulogium, subscribed "editors," are from the same
edition ; other notes, subscribed " Tafel,
" were
written by that gentleman ; and for those to which
no name is subjoined, the Editor is responsible.
Manchester, 1841.
