 PUBLICATIONS OF H. CLAXTON & CO. "We very cordially commend the volume [IX. 'Marriage and the Sexes'] to all who desire, either for themselves or for others, a compact and yet comprehensive presentation of the subject."— Mew Jerusalem Messenger. "Volume VI. of this handy little library contains selections from Swedenborgon the subjects of Free Will, Repentance, Reformation, and Regeneration. Perhaps Swedenborg's most valuable contribution to Christian thought consists in what he said and wrote on the last three of these topics; and the book is well worth reading by spiritual teachers." — Christian Union. "On no theme did the Swedish seer delight more to dwell than that which is treated in this little book | Vol. V.]. And Mr. Barrett expresses the conviction that ' in all the theological libraries of Christendom, there cannot be found, within the same compass, half as much wholesome teaching, or high and heavenly wisdom on these interesting and momen- tous themes, as these 224 small pages contain.' . . . And it is an exceed- ingly good book." — Chicago Advance. "This edition is an excellent condensation of the pith and substance of Swedenborg's teachings and revelations. Whoever desires to know the fundamental views of his church, will find them here." — Zion's Herald. " The series is every way admirable, and cannot fail to be welcomed by the religiously inclined, as well as by the immediate followers of the doctrines taught by the great Swedish philosopher." — Chicago Journal. " We think that any one who will take this little book [Vol. IV.] and read it .... as a collection of valuable hints throwing light on some questions that perplex thoughtful souls, and have perplexed them ever since the days of Job, will find it much more helplul than some larger and more pretentious treatises." — Christian Union. " Its mechanical get-up is faultless ; and we cannot see how the matter could have been more judiciously collated for such a work. All credit is due our brother, B.F. Barrett, for the conception and development of this enterprise, by whom the little volumes are edited."— Aeio Church Independent. , " We have here ' a complete view of what the New Theology teaches concerning Charity, Faith, and Works '—living virtues whose union in man makes his life an image of the Divine Trinity. We believe no man living is more familiar than Mr. Barrett with the great Swede's writings ; and in the neat volumes of this series he aims to present his teachings in his [Swedenborg's] own language, but so classified as to exhibit the author's complete view of each leading doctrine of religion."— Christian Jiegister. " It cannot be denied that certain truths as to the right interpretation of God's Word were brought to light [by Swedenborg] which it is of exceeding importance that the churches should more distinctly recog- nize." — Chicago Advance. 7
