LIST OF BOOKS REFERRED TO IN PAGE 67, note.

THIS List was drawn up by the Rev. R. Hindmarsh, and is supposed to name every edition of the Writings published prior to the establishment of the London Printing Society. Such additions as have been made to the original, are placed between brackets, thus [ ].

1. A BRIEF EXPOSITION of the Doctrine of the New Church, understood in the Apocalypse by the New Jerusalem; wherein is also demonstrated, that throughout all the Christian World the worshipping of Three Gods is received from the Creed of St. Athanasius. By Emanuel Swedenborg, a native of Sweden. London: Printed by M. Lewis, No, 1, Paternoster Row. 1769.

M. Lewis was probably the successor of J. Lewis, who announced the publication of the Arcana, see page 2, above. There is reason to suppose that Mr. Marchant, who translated the Arcana, also translated this work; and not Mr. Cookworthy.

2. The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem, concerning THE LORD. Translated by Mr. P. Provo, and printed at the expense of the London Society. A second edition, corrected by Mr. George Adams, Optician, and printed at their expense in 1786.

4. The Doctrine of LIFE for the New Jerusalem, second edition. Translated by the Rev. J. Clowes, of Manchester; the Preface to this translation written by the Rev. Jacob Duche, of the Asylum for Female Orphans, in St. George’s Fields; and printed at the expense of the Manchester Society.

[The first edition was printed in 1763, and is supposed to have been translated by either Mr. Marchant or Mr. Cookworthy, most probably the former.]

[TRUE CHRISTIAN RELIGION; containing the Universal Theology of the New Church, which was foretold by the Lord, in Daniel, ch. vii. 13, 14; and in the Apocalypse, ch. xxi. 1, 2. Translated by the Rev. J. Clowes. Published in 4to., 1781. An edition, in 3 vols., crown 8vo., also was published C. W. Leadbeater, of Chester.]

[Apocalypsis Explicata, secundum Sensum Spiritualem, &c.; Ex Operibus Posthumis E. S., published by Rev. R. Hindmarsh, from a MS. copy received from Sweden. This MS., it now appears, was not Swedenborg’s, but a copy made by Mr. Nordenksjold. See ante p. 30.]

6. A Treatise concerning the LAST JUDGMENT, and the Destruction of Babylon. Translated by me, and printed at my own expense, in 1788.

12. NINE QUERIES concerning the Trinity, put to Emanuel Swedenborg by the Rev. Thomas Hartley; with the Baron’s Answers to the same. Translated by me, and printed at my own expense, in 1786.- These Queries were also printed in the Original Latin by me, at my own expense, from a manuscript copy received from Mr. Hartley, in 1786.

The translation affixed by Mr. Hartley to the Treatise on influx, was made from this. A correct translation from the Swedish into English was first prefixed to the Four Leading Doctrines, published by the London Printing Society in 1826.
