Excerpt from Dissertations on the Regenerate Life and Subjects Connected Therewith: In Harmony With the Theological Writings of E. Swedenborg In presenting the first American edition of the talented Arbouin's views concerning the Regenerate Life, the Publisher would simply direct attention to the Authors brief yet comprehensive Preface. The Notes introduced, as well as the "Memoir," are from the pen of Rev. Mr. Mason, of Melbourne, near Derby, who arranged the last edition, published at London, in 1839 - the basis of the present volume - which has been thoroughly revised and corrected. Readers will determine for themselves as to the correctness of the views expressed upon the interesting theme discussed: yet the assertion is unhesitatingly given, that naught will be found in this book tending, in the slightest degree, to wound the judgment of the most ultra dissenter: for the Author, in the advancement of opinions, has been guided by his own just expression, that "it would be a great mistake to suppose that the firm conviction of the truth of any opinion is inconsistent with a modest expression of it," and "Truth must depend for its reception on the evidence which can be afforded by fair argument, and can owe nothing to the impassioned manner of its advocate." His style is courteous, fervid, and figurative, and often rising into passages of singular beauty and eloquence. The reader will be convinced that the writer is in earnest, and also exempt from the repellant qualities which too often embitter theological controversies.
