Notes
In his introduction [p. 4], White writes that this treatise was "meant as congenial with the divinity and philosophy of the New Jerusalem Church, as explained by that illustrious luminary, Baron Emanual [sic] Swedenborg," making this the earliest known Swedenborgian title published in Virginia.
