Principia(Volume 1)
Emanuel Swedenborg, Translated by Augustus Clissold

Principia, or �The first principles of natural things, being new attempts toward a philosophical explanation of the elementary world,� was first published in Latin in 1734. It opens with an essay on the author�s philosophical method that involves the employment of the trilogy of �experience, geometry, and the power of reason.� The work is about the creation of the elementary world and includes the original enunciation of the nebular hypothesis. It also includes a lengthy treatment of magnetism. It is the first of the series written from 1734 to 1745 in which the author sought to establish the method of the soul�s operation in the human body. Illustrated. Author and subject indexes.
