Excerpt from Sermons Chiefly on Old Testament Histories: From Texts in the Sunday Lessons I AM quite aware that the Sermons contained in this Volume have nothing in them that is original or profound; and I certainly cannot make my friends responsible for the publication by alleging their urgent request as an excuse for my venture. I know, too, that there is an ample choice of printed Sermons already, and that, contrary to the received maxim of Political Economy, the supply, in this case, considerably exceeds the demand. But I believe, notwithstanding, that there is still a want of Sermons not original or profound or eloquent, yet not absolutely dull and trite, plain in style and varied in subject, with something of a specific character about them, so that they shall not sound like the echo of a hundred more, - above all, practical and uncontroversial, such as good men, of varying Opinions on many points of Theo logy and Ecclesiastical usage, may read with satis faction in their homes, and to their families.
