The invisible world

Preface

Though the author has, in conformity to prevailing custom, denominated his work a poem, because it is written in verse ; yet he prefers no claim to that superior style, which is, by way of eminence, termed poetical. The deep interest which he felt in the subject, and a desire to benefit his fellow-christians, were his inducements to writing ; and he ventures to hope, that a work on a subject so very important and interesting as the state of departed spirits, though in a plain style, will not, if found consistent with Scripture, be wholly unacceptable to the serious reader. The doctrine of an intermediate state, is neither so generally received, nor so well understood as it ought to be ; and should a perusal of the following pages, correct some errors, and lead to a profitable and Scriptural contemplation of the state which awaits us after death, the author's object will be accomplished.

The author has to acknowledge, with many thanks, the kindness of Dr. Yates in looking over the proofs, and suggesting improvements.
