Book Description
Excerpt from Annals of the New Church, Vol. 1: With a Chronological Account of the Life of Emanuel Swedenborg, 1688-1850 The History of the Lord's New Church, the Church of the New Jerusalem, has not yet been written, nor can it be written until the facts of her past experience have been collected. These facts lie hidden, at present, in several thousand different volumes published in many different tongues, distributed in widely distant libraries, and thus inaccessible to the general student. Before a philosophical and yet exact History of the New Church can be written, these scattered and imprisoned facts must be brought together, in order that the historian or historians of the Church may have the necessary materials at hand. The stones must be procured before the building can be erected. An attempt to supply this want of proper materials for New Church History has been made by the compilation of the present "Annals of the New Church." Let it be well understood, that the "Annals" do not pretend to be a History of this Church. It is simply a work of reference, "rudis indigestaque moles" a mass of materials, roughly arranged in chonological order, and drawn only from the public and printed records of the Church. They present merely the corporeal part of New Church History. The "spirit" within the bare facts will be found in the private, unpublished letters, which are or will be preserved in the archives of the Church. The "Annals," though the fruit of long-continued and extensive researches, favored by exceptional advantages and opportunities, do not claim any absolute exhaustiveness or perfection. Much, we fear, has been omitted, and many errors will undoubtedly be found. The plan of the compiler has been to collect authentic, referable and impartial information as to the following general subjects: I. The facts connected with the life and work of Emanuel Swedenborg.

Book Description
Ebenezer Sibly was a quack doctor, plagiarist, and masonic ritualist in late eighteenth-century London; his brother Manoah was a respectable accountant and a pastor who ministered to his congregation without pay for fifty years. The inventor of Dr. Sibly's Reanimating Solar Tincture, which claimed to restore the newly dead to life, Ebenezer himself died before he turned fifty and stayed that way despite being surrounded by bottles of the stuff. Asked to execute his will, which urged the continued manufacture of Solar Tincture, and left legacies for multiple and concurrent wives as well as an illegitimate son whose name the deceased could not recall, Manoah found his brother's record of financial and moral indiscretions so upsetting that he immediately resigned his executorship. Ebenezer's death brought a premature conclusion to a colorfully chaotic life, lived on the fringes of various interwoven esoteric subcultures. Drawing on such sources as ratebooks and pollbooks, personal letters and published sermons, burial registers and horoscopes, Susan Mitchell Sommers has woven together an engaging microhistory that offers useful revisions to scholarly accounts of Ebenezer and Manoah, while placing the entire Sibly family firmly in the esoteric byways of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The Siblys of London provides fascinating insight into the lives of a family who lived just outside our usual historical range of vision.

Book Description
DIVDIVThe late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are known as the Age of Enlightenment, a time of science and reason. But in this illuminating book, Paul Monod reveals the surprising extent to which Newton, Boyle, Locke, and other giants of rational thought and empiricism also embraced the spiritual, the magical, and the occult./divDIV /divDIVAlthough public acceptance of occult and magical practices waxed and waned during this period they survived underground, experiencing a considerable revival in the mid-eighteenth century with the rise of new antiestablishment religious denominations. The occult spilled over into politics with the radicalism of the French Revolution and into literature in early Romanticism. Even when official disapproval was at its strongest, the evidence points to a growing audience for occult publications as well as to subversive popular enthusiasm. Ultimately, finds Monod, the occult was not discarded in favor of “reason� but was incorporated into new forms of learning. In that sense, the occult is part of the modern world, not simply a relic of an unenlightened past, and is still with us today./div/div
