haremnew.gif (1988 bytes) as of November, 2008      At long last the Lord has led a contributor to provide us with a xerographic copy of the early manuscript of Madame Guyon's Spiritual Torrents in English; it was translated from the Paris Edition of 1790 by A.W. Marston.  The complete manuscript has now been transcribed, prepared, proofed and is available online.  What a precious treasure!

(On-line at PTW)

[ Note: A modernized and adulterated version of this manuscript is being sold under the title, "Spiritual Torrents", by seedsowers.com.  If you possess a copy of the seedsower's version, you would be advised to compare it closely to this old manuscript.   There seems to be very little similarity between it and Marston's English translation, although the cover of the seedsower's version labels it as having been written by Madame Guyon.

Hmmmm ... We know that when someone takes the work of another author and puts his own name to it, it is called plagiarism, ... but what is it called when someone presents his own work or the work of another, and claims it has been written by a famous deceased author? —.the word, counterfeit, comes to mind. ]
