concerning the life beyond the grave; trusting that his very brevity of statement, coupled with the intrinsic interest and importance of the theme, may kindle in the mind of the reader a desire to pursue the investigation.
And if such desire should be awakened, the inquirer is referred for further instruction to Swedenborg's work on "Heaven and Hell," to the neat little volumes (I, and II.) of the "Swedenborg Library," to "The New View of Hell," by Mr. Barrett, and "Our Children in Heaven," by Dr. Holcombe. By a careful perusal of these works, he will not only obtain a thorough knowledge of the Pneumatology of the New Church, but learn all that a thoughtful and reasonable person would care to know about the World Beyond, or the facts, laws and phenomena of the great Hereafter.
