the Divine Herbert, that was ever honoured by such an imprimatur.
Our anonymous author, however, may possibly be possessed of this
peculiar privilege ; as we find he is himself an occasional inhabitant
of the New Jerusalem. It is now several years ago, he says, that
he published five other treatises on the following subjects, viz. on
the nature of Heaven and Hell ; on the New Jerusalem ; on the Last
Judgment; on the White Horse ; on the Planets and the different
worlds in the universe: in which treatises he communicated to the

Further reviews are contained in the "Bibliothèque des Sciences
et des Beaux Arts" for October, November, and December, 1763 ,
p. 550 et seq.; and likewise in the "Journal des Savans" for October,
1764, Dutch edition, p. 528. Both these journals were published
at Amsterdam and the Hague.
A digest of all these reviews was inserted in the February
number of the "Svenska Mercurius" for 1765 (see Document 283, A,
no. 4). These works had been previously announced in the August
number of the same journal for 1764 (see Document 283, A, no. 3).
These five treatises are also reviewed in J. A. Ernesti’s "Neue
Theologische Bibliothek," Vol. IV, no. 8, 1763, pp. 725-733.
