The Spiritual Exposition of the Apocalypse, Vol. 2 of 4: As Derived From the Writings of the Hon. Emanuel Swedenborg, Illustrated and Confirmed by Ancient and Modern Authorities (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Spiritual Exposition of the Apocalypse, Vol. 2 of 4: As Derived From the Writings of the Hon. Emanuel Swedenborg, Illustrated and Confirmed by Ancient and Modern Authorities The reader is requested to bear in mind the statement made in the Preface to the First Volume, namely, that only the shorter exposition of Swedenborg is here given, and the longer omitted; so that for any further satisfaction Which may be required, re ference must be made to the original work. It is desirable also to mention that the author of the present volumes is very sensible of the imperfect execution of the task he has undertaken, and that notwithstanding all his care and diligence, various parts of the work are susceptible of advanta geons correction. But notwithstanding all the emendations Which might be usefully adopted, the author is not aware of any Which would not tend to elucidate and establish rather than to weaken the general argument. As the present volumes are only an introductory Commentary upon the writings of Swedenborg, it is hoped that any errors Which may exist in the Commentary will not on that account be attributed to the writings Which are the subject of the Commentary.
