The Science Of Correspondence Elucidated The Key To The Heavenly And True Meaning Of The Sacred Scriptures

Excerpt from The Science of Correspondences, Elucidated: The Key to the Heavenly and True Meaning of the Sacred Scriptures HE following work [part I.] originated in a lecture delivered at the Opening of Albion Chapel, Albion Street, Leeds, in 1847. I reluctantly consented to the earnest request of many who heard it for its publication, as an epitome of the great subject on which it professed to treat. On re ection, I thought it would be but a brief and imperfect sketch - little more than a tract, of which sev eral admirable ones on the same topic are widely circulated by the Manchester Tract Society, and the London Missionary and Tract Society of the New Church - and I determined to give it a more permanent value; and in this edition have altered its arrangement, and, indeed, rewritten no inconsiderable portion of the work. I have added a series of notes, not only such as are explanatory, illustrative or confirmatory of the subjects and reasonings of the text, but many drawn from various sources designed to show the remarkable coincidences of thought which have obtained among pious and learned men, of all periods and classes; and which indi cate most distinctly that an idea, in some shape or other, has been and still is prevalent, that an inward Spiritual sense or meaning exists within the letter of the Word of God.
