4to, formerly bound (disbound) : 328 pp. (some pp. dog-eared, sl. fox., etc.).

1st edition of this treatise on love in marriage (1st English translation : "The delights of wisdom concerning conjugial love: after which follow the pleasures of insanity concerning scortatory love"). "Love in Marriage (...) is one of the most challenging works written by Swedish scientist and visionary Emanuel Swedenborg (1688–1772). It is not only about marriage as a social institution - both in the ways that it works and the ways that it can be a source of strife - but about the spiritual implications of marriage and the ways that two human beings can form, continue, and deepen their emotional and spiritual connection in this world and the next" (Swedenborg Foundation).
