1202 NOTES TO VOLUME II.
among the foremost in every work of usefulness which fell within
the range of his magisterial and other duties.
In 1810, Mr. Tulk became one of the Founders of the London
Society for Printing and Diffusing the Works of Swedenborg, to
which he remained a subscriber till his death. Up to 1843 he was
a member of the committee of the society, and frequently presided,
not only at the committee meetings, but also at the general annual
meetings of the society. His addresses to the society on these
occasions have been spoken of by some of his hearers in terms of
high admiration. In the year 1832, he published a small work
entitled "Family Instruction," embodying in a simple form some of
the instruction he was in the habit of imparting to his family circle.
In 1842 he published a very brief Exposition of the Lord’s Prayer,
intended as the forerunner of a work on this subject, contemplated
and commenced by him, but not quite finished at the time of his
death. In 1843 he published a small book of Aphorisms, treating
on spiritual subjects, or, rather, on subjects viewed in a spiritual
light. But the work to which he devoted most labour was entitled
"Spiritual Christianity;" part of which was published in numbers, in
the years 1846 and 1847. The publication was interrupted by in
creasing ill-health; and its subsequent completion was prevented by
his death, which took place in January, 1849, when he was sixty-three
years of age.
The orthodoxy of some of Mr. Tulk’s views was questioned so
early as 1827 by Mr. Noble in the "Intellectual Repository ;" Mr. Tulk’s
rejoinders, or rather those of one of his disciples, being contained
in Goyder’s "New Jerusalem Magazine" for 1827. To this controversy
we refer those of our readers who desire to study Mr. Tulk’s views,
and their relations to the doctrines taught in the writings of Sweden
borg. More recently the views taught by Mr. Tulk have been set
forth in a work by the late Abraham J. Le Cras of Jersey, which
was published, after his death, in 1871, under the editorship of the
Rev. E. D. Rendell; it bears the title, "A Compendium of the
Doctrines of Spiritual Christianity."
