NOTE
This small work, while it may serve as a brief but compendious biography of the man Swedenborg, has the higher purpose to show how at the culmination of the desolation of the Church of our Lord, foretold by Him, He Himself by the orderly enlightening of the mind of one of His servants has provided for the enlightening of the many as to His Divine purpose and presence in His Holy Word—whereby His face may now again be seen in the clouds of the misinterpreted letter.
Those who desire more particulars about Swedenborg himself may find them in the author's "Life and Mission of Emanuel Swedenborg" (J. B. Lippincott Company), and in the three large volumes of Documents by R. L. Tafel (Swedenborg Society, London).
