THE first edition of "SERMONS FOR THE HOLY SEASONS OF THE CHURCH," in two vols. octavo, having been for some time out of print, the Author's removal to a new sphere of labour seemed to afford a fitting opportunity for complying with a repeatedly expressed request for a re-issue. The present series is published in a more convenient form, and is a selection from both volumes of Sermons, adapted to the former half of the Ecclesiastical Year. Two new Sermons-Nos. VIII. and XVI.-have been added; the whole carefully revised, and Notes appended, bearing on the theological questions of the day. Volumes for the latter half of the Christian Year and for the lesser Festivals are in course of preparation; each one, however, will be complete in itself. The Author begs to repeat the expression of his thanks to The REV. G. H. FORBES, for his kindness in seeing the original sheets through the press. Whitsun-tide, 1868. |
