PREFACE.



These are not the speculations of fancy invading the sanctuaries of the soul; nor the wandering dreams of imagination mistaking the beautiful for the true. They are veritable pictures of the life to come. To the mind that can appreciate their truth they are more valuable than any philosophical or scientific discoveries. They give a light to the intellect and a joy to the heart unknown to previous Dispensations., It is needless for me, to disclaim any right of possession in these sublime revelations. They have been drawn from the pages of Emanuel Swedenborg, the divinely commissioned Interpreter of the Word of God.

For that reason they have nothing in common with the doctrines so widely disseminated under the name of Spiritualism.
