Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The object of these Lectures is to present the teaching of Swedenborg concerning the Sacred Scriptures, in a form likely to reach those who might otherwise remain in ignorance of it; and for this purpose I have used whatever in the collateral writings of the New Church I have found available for argument or illustration. Whatever has thus been assimilated into the scheme and purpose of this presentation, I of course make myself responsible for; but if credit is to be given, I wish to say it very likely belongs to others. It is only fair to add, that the Lectures, delivered from time to time, which have appeared in the Chicago Times, called forth expressions of interest from various sources, which suggested the probable usefulness of printing them in this present form.
