EULOGIUM OF SANDEL. 17
The titles of these works announce matters of great
importance and though the subjects of them are dif
ferent, they are all founded on Anatomy, on Physics,
on Philosophy, on explications of Holy Scripture, on
certain revelations and visions ; and they all conduct us,
according to his manner of treating them, to serious
meditations respecting the Supreme Being, the soul,
things invisible and spiritual, and the life hereafter.
We thus now find soaring above the clouds, the same
man whom we have just been following in the mines,
in furnaces and workshops : and we find him everywhere
equally diligent, zealous, and fertile in emblematical
illustrations.
The application which the composition of these latter
works required, not permitting him to continue to dis
charge the functions of his office as Assessor of the
Board of Mines, he, in 1747, asked and obtained his
Majesty’s permission to retire from it : who also granted
the two requests which he added to his petition ; the first
of which was, that he might enjoy, during life, by way
of pension, the half of the salary attached to his office ;
and the second, that this favor might be granted him
without any addition of rank or title ; though these
are things which by the generality are not deprecated
21. Apocalypsis Explicata secundum Sensum Spiritualem. Four
volumes, 1785, 1786, 1788, and 1789.
22. Index Rerum in Apocalypsi Revelata. 1813.
23. Index Verborum, Ñominum, et Rerum, in Arcanis Cœlestibus.
1815.
24. Adversaria in Libros Levitici, Numerorum et Deuteronomii. 1841.
There was also printed in 1784, a small posthumous work, or
rather fragment, intitled, Clavis Hieroglyphica Arcanorum Natu
ralium et Spiritualium, per viam Repræsentationum et Correspon
dentiarum. But this does not properly belong to the class of
his theological works, having evidently been written before he
received his particular illumination, and apparently about the
same time as his Economia Regni Animalis and Regnum Animale;
in the former of which works the first sketch of the system is
offered, and in the latter of which it is occasionally adverted to.
It is needless here to translate the titles of the above works, as
a complete list of them, as now on sale in the English language,
is attached to this work.
