Excerpt from Concerning the Earths in Our Solar System, Which Are Called Planets: And Concerning the Earths in the Starry Heavens; Together With an Account of Their Inhabitants, and Also of the Spirits and Angels There; From What Has Been Seen and Heard If the reader be acquainted with the other writings of the honorable author of the following treatise, and has an affection for the doctrines and discoveries therein contained, it will give him pleasure to see those doctrines further illustrated, and those discoveries extended, in the extraordinary account here presented to his view, of the earths in the universe. Hereby his love of the truth will be strengthened and increased; and, observing its wonderful harmony, consistence, and coherence, he will be led thereby to acknowledge its heavenly original, and to be more faithful and obedient in reducing it to practical use in his life and conversation, which, he will be taught, is its great end and intention. He will rejoice also to find the uncertainty of former conjectures, in regard to the population of the planets, superseded, in the present relation, by the more substantial and experimental evidence of so respectable an authority as that of Baron Swedenborg.
