PHILOSOPHY

So far as the information of the general public is concerned they might almost as well have never been pub- lished.

In England where the PRINCIPIA and the other works of the splendid series produced by Clissold and Wilkinson have been for long years out of print and so out of the current in- quiry and interest of the learned world the new edition of this great work undertaken with so much enthusiasm by our body at its origin and after some years of critical labor in the revision of the translation turned over with liberal list of subscribers to our friends of the Swedenborg Society in En- gland as the firm from whom we would naturally expect the second edition there the work only after some ten years of waiting has at last come from the press and is here as tangible witness of the real degree of our zeal in prosecuting the science and philosophy of Swedenborg.

The absence of the books on the market might indeed ac- count for the lack of them in the homes of the people but even this cannot account for the absence of their use in our so- called Nev-Church schools.

Under former administration in Urbana considerable contribution was made to the bring- ing out of the philosophical books the translation of the DE ANIMA having been made there also translation of the ON- TOLOGIA afterwards published and transcription of the photo- lithographic volume DE CEREBRO of some folio pages made by the late Professor Cabell was sent by request to the Royal Library in Stockholm where it still remains.

In the curriculum of the College the Introduction to the Principia on the MEANS CONDUCIVE TO A TRUE PHILOSOPHY and on the TRUE PHILOSOPHER was made part of the course in Phil- osophy.
