SWEDENBORG’S WRITINGS.
spiritual or internal sense, from the Arcana Cœlestia),
London, 1758, pp. 23, quarto.
This little treatise, as has been shown in no. 94, is an expansion of
the introductory disquisition to the twenty-second Chapter of Genesis
in the Arcana Cœlestia, nos. 2760 to 2763. Document 300, a paper
which the Author submitted to the Royal Academy of Sciences in
Stockholm, may be regarded as a continuation of it. The chapter
on the Word, which consists mainly of references to the Arcana
Cœlestia, has been embodied also in his treatise on "The New
Jerusalem and its Heavenly Doctrine" (no. 103).
The first English translation of this little work appeared in 1788
under the title, "Concerning the White Horse mentioned in the
Revelation, Chap. XIX, and concerning the Word and its Spiritual
or Internal Sense." It was translated by R. Hindmarsh and printed
at his expense (see "Rise and Progress of the New Jerusalem Church,
Appendix I, no. 11). To this first edition was added, "An Account
of the Souls of Beasts, and the Life of Vegetables ;" taken from the
"Apocalypse Explained" (no. 106), nos. 1196-1215.
1757 and 1758. (103.) De Nova Hierosolyma et ejus Doctrina
Coelesti: ex auditis e Cœlo. Quibus præmittitur aliquid de
Novo Coelo et Nova Terra (The New Jerusalem and its
Heavenly Doctrine, from things heard out of heaven ; with
an Introduction on the New Heaven and the New Earth),
London, 1758, pp. 156, quarto.
This treatise consists mainly of the articles which were prefixed to
the chapters of Exodus in Vols. VI-VIII of the Arcana Cœlestia
under the title, "Doctrine of Charity," and "Doctrine of Charity and
Faith," concerning which, see nos..94 and 95. To each of the sections
of this work most extensive references to the Arcana Cœlestia are
subjoined, which add greatly to the value and also to the size of
the work.
The first translation of this work into German appeared in 1772,
under the title, Vom neuen Jerusalem und dessen himmlischer Lehre:
aus dem Himmel gehöret, von Emanuel Swedenborg. The references
to the Arcana Celestia were, however, omitted. The second edition
appeared in Altenburg in 1788.
The first English translation, prepared by Mr. Provo, with the
assistance of Mr. R. Hindmarsh, appeared in 1784, both with and
without the Extracts from the Arcana Coelestia; the London and
Manchester Printing Societies bearing the expense of publication.
