Excerpt from From Different Points of View: Benjamin Fiske Barrett, Preacher, Writer, Theologian, and Philosopher The history of nations is largely made up of the his tory of men.

If not the first, certainly among the most able of the expounders of the principles and truths of the New Church, as made known by Emanuel Swedenborg, was the subject of this study. He devoted more than half a century to the teaching and spread of the new doctrines, and the life to which they should lead.
