EULOGIUM OF SANDEL. 15
.
1. Prodromus Philosophie Ratiocinantis de Infinito,
de Causa Finali Creationis, et de Mechanismo
Operationis Animæ et Corporis. Printed at Dres
den, in 1734.
2. Economia Regni Animalis. Printed at Amsterdam,
in two parts ; the first in 1740, and the second in
1741.
3. Regnum Animale. In three parts ; two of which were
printed at the Hague, in 1744, and the third at
London, in 1745.
4. De Cultu et Amore Dei. In two parts, London,
1745.*
* The following would be the title of these four works in
English:
1. A Prodromus to a proposed work, to be called, Philosophy
reasoning on the Infinite, on the Final Cause of Creation, and
on the Mechanism of the Operation of the Soul and Body.
The work itself was never published under that title ; but
those which follow treat ofthe proposed subjects.
2. The Economy of the Animal Kingdom.
3. The Animal Kingdom.
4. On the Worship and Love of God.
Though M. Sandel has numbered the above with the author’s
theological writings, they do not, in reality, belong to that class,
though the subjects of some of them are closely connected with
theology. The philosophical views they develop are mostly in
harmony with those of his theological works; and their theolo
gical sentiments also are seldom at variance with those of the
latter, though they occasionally evince the absence of that
superior illumination which he afterwards enjoyed. His par
ticular illumination is stated to have commenced in 1743 ; if it
did, the two latter of the above works were printed, and, most
probably, were written, afterwards : but as their whole style and
character differ widely from those of his theological works, there
seems some reason to doubt whether the date of his specific
illumination should not, instead of 1743, be 1745. Whilst, also,
all his theological works abound with references to each other,
they do not contain a single reference to the above or to any
other of his publications, except once in the Index to the Arcana
Calestia, where, under the word Cause, there is a reference to the
Worship and Love of God : but this single exception only seems
to prove, that, while that work in general was not written under
the same illumination as the author afterwards enjoyed, what it
contains, upon the subject referred to, is fully in agreement there
