THE following Sermons are published with the view of forwarding the erection of a New Church in a poor mining district, in the county of Cornwall. They were written simply for plain instruction in a Parish Church, and without the least idea of publication. A few alterations will be found in some of the Sermons, but generally they are much the same as when preached.
Quotations have been verified, as much as they could be in Sermons written without any notes made at the time, but there are, doubtless, many ideas and expressions from sources now unknown. The Oxford Translation only has been used in quotations from the Fathers. It is hoped that the object for which this volume is published, may excuse whatever of defect is found in its composition.
