Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1862, By THEOPHILUS PARSONS, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of Massachusett STEREOTYPED AND PRINTED BY CHAS. H. CROSBY. NOTE. The third Essay, and parts of the first and second, have been read at social meetings of the Boston Society of the New Jerusalem. In none of them have I attempted to give a full and logical exposition or development of the doctrines of the church; or to do more than offer some suggestions, in the best way permitted by my imperfect knowledge, and the fragmentary and uncertain leisure of a busy life.
