Observations On The Growth Of The Mind by Sampson Reed. This work, dating to 1838, presents a Swedenborgian view of mental development. Reed argues that growth of the mind arises through the reception and living of divine truth revealed in Scripture, and that revelation directs the mind toward truth, virtue, and usefulness. He traces how memory, affections, and time relate to the mind's progress, and contends that the laws of the mind are fixed as the laws of matter, but have been misaligned by human pride. The text asserts that the natural world, sciences, poetry, and music cultivate the intellect in service of God, and that education should harmonize intellect with spiritual life. It emphasizes the New Church and Swedenborgian theology as guiding principles for a reformed society in which individuals realize their duties to God and neighbor.
