Dictionary of Correspondences

George Nicholson (d. 1819) was among the earliest clergy members of the Church of the New Jerusalem. He was first introduced to the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg in London in 1790, and he soon became a regular contributor to the New Jerusalem Journal. He was ordained into the New Church in 1800 and became the pastor of a society in Kingston-upon-Hull, Yorkshire, England. Later in life he was ordained in the Church of England, and spent the rest of his life as curator to a variety of Anglican churches. He was the author of more than fifteen books, including Essays on the Most Essential Theological Subjects (1794) and the Dictionary of Correspondences (1800).
