We will talk on these things and the spirits.

How that last subject attracts me! It strikes me that we are on the verge of great developments of the spiritual nature, and that in a philosophical point of view (apart from ulterior ends) the facts are worthy of all admiration and meditation.

If a spiritual influx, it is _mixed_--good and evil together.

The fact of there being a mixture of evil justifies Swedenborg's philosophy (does it not ?) without concluding against the movement generally.

We were at the Pergola the other night, and heard the 'Trovatore,' Verdi's new work.
