Excerpt from Sermons and Discourses, Vol. 1 The Discourses contained in this Volume are a few of those preached by the Author in the course of his ministry. He publishes them, some what against his own judgment, in deference to the urgent request of some whose Opinion is en titled to his regard. The reception accorded to a few of them, issued in pamphlet form, would seem to justify their advice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Sermons, Vol. 1 of 2 Two of the discourses owe their publication in these volumes to personal feelings. The author wished to render a just tribute of affection-to an excellent Father, still remembered with the ten derest emotions, and a dear, estimable Friend. To have his name coupled with their names, is to him a pleasing reflection, which will more than overa balance the severity of criticism. He loved them for their merit whilst they lived, and hopes to be united with them in immortality and glory beyond the grave.

Excerpt from Sermons, and Other Discourses, Vol. 2 of 2 The first volume of these Discourses having met with a very favourable recep tion, the Edit'or has been induced to publish a second. As Mr. Lavington's Sermons were not written by him with a view to publica tion, it was considered advisable to make some retrenchments and verbal alterations in the former volume, before it was at first committed to the press. Several of his friends, however, have requested that the. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Sermons, Vol. 1 The works of Ralph Erskine have long been to me a mine of gold. The character of his sermons had been familiar to me before I was able to obtain a copy for myself. The last edition of 1821, had been accessible only in occasional copies for several years, when, in a book-store in Philadelphia, a copy was presented to me by the salesman, with the remark, that it had just been brought there by a clergyman, who found the contents too Calvinistic for his taste. I gladly caught the opportunity to add to the num ber of my personal companions, a friend whose conversation I had long desired, and that copy has been to me a chosen and valued companion since. I should be unable to point out a single writer, in whom would be found an equal combination of excellent and important qualifications for a Christian teacher. Many of the Church of England writers are thoroughly evangelical in princi ple, and full in statement, and clear in discrimination, like Bishop Reynolds, and Bishop Hopkins, and Bishop Hall. Many of the English nonconformists of the same century are also full and dis criminating in their statements of Divine truth, - like Owen, and Goodwin, and Howe. Many of the later writers of the English Church have also followed in the same line of clear teaching of the Gospel; and nothing can ever be more beautiful and complete than the material and style of the Scotch Leighton. But no one of them all, and no other writer that I know, has heaped together so great a fullness of provision, and spread out such a display of. Evangelical wealth, as Ralph Erskine.

Excerpt from Sermons and Discourses on the Following Subjects, Vol. 2 The knowledge which every man is con cerned to get of himfelf, is either more gene ral or particular. The general knowledge of a man's filf, is attained hy the corjidera tion Qf thofi' things in which all men agree, without the lea/i di/tinc'tion hetwixt them fuch as the dignity of the human nature in its primitive /tate, the corruption of it hy jin, the hopelefs /tate of guilt and impotence in which we lie, without the Grace of God judi jying, and fanei'zjying us.

Excerpt from Sermons and Discourses, Vol. 2 The Discourses contained in this Volume have been written by the Author at various times in the course of his ministry. Unlike those com prised in the First Volume, which were almost all written after delivery, these have been all written, and, with but few exceptions, never de livered. Hence they are the written results of the Author 3 studies and reflection, designed, in deed for public instruction, yet never reaching the public till now.
