1857pp. xii, 285. Age stained. ** Presented by the Author to Rev. Erastus Scranton. 12mo. Original full cloth binding, embossed in blind. Gilt lettered spine. Very slight loss at extremities. Hardbound. First Edition. Rev. Erastus Scranton was born in 1777 at East Guilford, CT. Educated at Yale College, he became Pastor of The Congregational Church of Burlington, CT from Jan. 1830 to May 1840. After retiring from the pulpit he operated his farm on Scranton Mountain, now Savarese Lane, and was Town Treasurer for a number of years. His hearing became quite impaired, the Congregation voted that he should sit beside the minister so that he could hear the service. He lived in the Barton House, (Later the Farmington Savings Bank) in the Center. He died Oct. 5, 1861. On the author see: From the NY Times: May 27, 1864 : "Some years ago there appeared in the Springfield Republican a series of letters from Europe, signed by "Dunn Browne," which were widely copied and much admired for their sprightly vivacity. They ware from the pen of Mr. SAMUEL FISKE, a graduate of Amherst College, in the class of 1848, and the author of a well-known college text-book, a translation of ESCHENBERG's Manual of Greek and Roman Antiquities. Mr. FISKE was a clergyman, settled at Madison, Conn., when the war broke out; but he left the pulpit for the field, and dropped the "reverend" for a Lieutenant's title. After fighting bravely in the several battles, he was taken prisoner by the rebels, and detained for some time in Richmond. During the battle of the Wilderness, Captain -- for he was promoted from a Lieutenancy - Fiske was mortally wounded. He was conveyed to Fredericksburg, where, in a private house, he received the attention of personal friends, and of his wife and other members of his family. His death has taken from the Union ranks a brave, intelligent officer; from literary circles, a lively, versatile writer, and from the newspaper world, an admirable "war correspondent." TRAVEL/8

Swedish philosopher, scientist and religious writer, Emanuel Sewdenborg (Swedenbourg) [1688-1772] established himself as an inventor and scientist. He started having visions in 1743, and devoted himself thereafter to psychical and spiritual research. interpreting the scriptures as the immediate voice of God. He taught that all scripture contains an inner, spiritual sense which is not at all obvious from the natural sense of the word, or our understanding of the world. Among other things, he taught: that the universe is filled with inhabited planets, which are peopled by perfect human forms just like those on our earth; that their spirits in the spirit world can be seen and contacted, and he proceeds to describe some of their inhabitants ('Worlds in Space'); in 'Heaven and Hell' he describes in detail the heaven and hell of the spirit world, and how people and societies there function and are organized; in 'Divine Love and Wisdom' he describes the nature of that divine Spirit which emanates from the Deity, called in the scriptures the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost, and which appears in the spirit world as the sun, and gives light and heat to the inhabitants of that world - its light having the effect of intelligence, and its heat having the effect of love; in 'The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Concerning the Lord' he discusses the spiritual interpretation of the doctrine of the Godhead; Etc. Although he never preached publicly or formally founded a religious sect, his followers which included many artisits and freethinkers (among them William Blake) constituted a considerable society which became known as the New Jerusalem Church.
