joined to the fociety for which he was prepared, he then 
enjoys life maft when he is in the exercife of its proper 
ufes. Hence it may appear, that not the ideal knowledge 
of truths, as things without us, but an implantation of 
them in the affedlions and life for the purpofe of ufes, is 
that which qualifies for the kingdom of heaven. 
“ After that the angels are duly prepared for heaven in 
the manner defcribed, which comes to pafs in a fhort time, 
as fpiritual minds are of quick comprehenfion, they are 
then clothed in angelical garments, which, for the moft 
part, are white, as of fine linen, and conduced to the way 
which leads up to heaven, and delivered to the guardian- 
angels there: after which they are received by other 
angels, and introduced to different focieties, where they 
partake of various delights: after this every one is led by 
the Lord’s guidance to his particular proper fociety, and 
this by various ways, fometimes direfii, fometimes other- 
wife, not known to any of the angels, but to the Lord 
only. Laftly, when they are come to their own fociety, 
their inmoft thoughts and affections open and expand 
themfelves ; which meeting with the like returns of cor¬ 
dial fympathy from their fellow-angels, they are immedi¬ 
ately known, and received by them with a joyful welcome.” 
Thus much of the world of fpirits, and of the three 
ftates of preparation for final deftination. 
“ The heavens, in the general, are diftinguifhed into two 
kingdoms; the one of which is called the celeftial, the 
other the fpiritual, kingdom. The hells likewife are dif¬ 
tinguifhed into two kingdoms ; the one of which is oppo- 
fite to theceleftial, the otherto the fpiritual. That which 
is oppofite to the celeftial is in the weft, and they who be¬ 
long to it are called genii; and that which is oppofite to 
the fpiritual kingdom is in the north and fouth, and they 
who belong to it are called evil fpirits. All in the celeftial 
kingdom excel in love to the Lord ; and all that are in the 
hells oppofite to that kingdom are under the prevailing 
power of felf-love. All that belong to the fpiritual king¬ 
dom are diftinguifhed in excellence by love to their neigh¬ 
bour, and all that are in the hells oppofite to this kingdom 
are flaves to the love of the world; fo that love to the 
Lord and the love of felf are in the fame diametrical op- 
pofition to each other as the love of our neighbour and 
the love of the world. Effectual provifion is made by the 
Lord, that no power of evil, from the hells that are in 
oppofition to the celeftial kingdom, may reach the fubjeCts 
of the fpiritual kingdom, as the confequence in that cafe 
would be the fubverfion of the latter. Thus does the 
Lord keep the balance betwixt good and evil in his own 
hand for the prefervation of his kingdoms. 
“ What has been delivered concerning heaven, the 
world of fpirits, and hell, will appear obfeure to thofe 
who have no relifh for fpiritual truths, but clear to fuch 
as take delight therein, more efpecially to all who are 
in the love of truth for its own fake. What we love, we 
readily receive and underftand; and, where truth is the 
objeCt of our alfeCtions, it recommends itfelf to the mind 
by the evidence it brings with it; for truth is the light, 
by which all things are known and diftinguifhed.” Thofe 
who wifli to fearch deeper into this abftrufe fubjeCt, and 
yet have not the means of confulting the baron’s large 
work, will find confiderable extracts tranflated in Sibly's 
AJirology, 4to. 12th edit. Lond. 1817.

NEW ENGLAND, comprehending the Northern or 
Eaftern States of North America, lies around the great 
bay which fets up north-weft between Cape Cod and Cape 
Sable, between lat. 4.1. and 48. N. and between Ion. 1. 30. 
and 10. 15. E. from Philadelphia ; and is bounded north 
by Lower Canada ; eaft by the province of New Bran ft. 
wick and the Atlantic Ocean ; fouth by the fame ocean 
and Long Ifland Sound; and weft by the ftate of New 
York. It lies in the form of a quarter of a circle ; its 
weft line beginning at the mouth of Byram-river, which 
difeharges itfelf into Long Ifland Sound, at the fouth-weft 
corner of Connecticut, lat. 41. runs a little eaft of north 
until it ftrikes the 45th degree of latitude, and then curves 
to the eaftward, almoft to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Its 
extreme length is about 626 miles; its breadth is very 
unequal, from 100 to 200 miles; containing about 72,000 
fquare miles. This grand divifion of the United States 
comprehends the ftates of Vermont, New Harnpthire, 
Maflachufetts (including the diftrift of Maine), Rhode 
Ifland and Providence Plantations, and Connecticut; 
which fee refpeCtively. It was at firft called North Virginia, 
but changed its name about the year 1614. See the article 
America, vol. i. p. 430, 1. 
The climate of New England is falubrious, as we may 
infer from the longevity of its inhabitants; one in feven 
living to the age of feventy years, and about one in thir¬ 
teen or fourteen to eighty years and upwards. The wea¬ 
ther is lefs variable than in the middle and fouthern, 
ftates, but more fo than in Canada. The extremes of 
heat and cold are, according to Fahrenheit’s thermometer, 
from 20 0 below to ioo° above o ; the medium being from 
48 to 50. The quantity of water which annually falls 
in New England is from 42 to 48 inches ; and yet they 
fuffer here more from drought than in England, where the 
annual quantity of water is eftimated at about twenty- 
four inches. Hence it is inferred that the atmofphere is 
remarkably dry; and thus fome have accounted for its 
lingular falubrity. The difeafes moft prevalent in New 
England are alvine fluxes, St. Anthony’s fire, afthma, 
atrophy, catarrh, colic, inflammatory, flow, nervous, and 
mixed, fevers, pulmonary confumption, quinly, and rheu- 
matifm. The general condition of the New Englanders, 
which precludes the luxury of the rich and the extreme 
diftrefs of the poor, affords them an exemption from a va¬ 
riety of difeafes to which a greater degree of inequality 
might expofe them. 
This country prefents to the traveller a great variety 
of furface, confiding of extenfive plains, intermixed with 
valleys of different breadths, from two to twenty miles ; 
and of mountains of different elevations. Although it 
may be deemed, upon the whole, to be high and hilly, its 
mountains are comparatively fmalj, and run nearly north 
and fouth, in ridges parallel to one another. File welt- 
ernmoft range begins in the county of Fairfield, and pal - 
ing through the counties of Lichfield and Berkfhne, 
unites with the Green Mountains at Williamltown, in the 
north*
