PUBLISHED BY

GEORGE BELL,

186. FLEET STREET.

PLAIN SERMONS. By the late REV. EDWARD BLENCOWE. 3 vols., fcap. 8vo., cloth, 7s. 6d. Each sold separately.

"Their style is simple; the sentences are not artfully constructed: and
there is an utter absence of all attempt at rhetoric. The language is
plain Saxon language, from which 'the men on the wall' can easily
gather what it most concerns them to know.

"Again, the range of thought is not high and difficult, but level and
easy for the wayfaring man to follow. It is quite evident that the
author's mind was able and cultivated; yet, as a teacher to men of low
estate, he makes no display of eloquence or argument.

"In the statements of Christian doctrine, the reality of Mr. Blencowe's
mind is very striking. There is a strength and a warmth and a life in
his mention of the great truths of the Gospel, which show that he spoke
from the heart, and that, like the Apostle of old, he could say,--'I
believe, and therefore have I spoken.'

"His affectionateness too is no less conspicuous; this is shown in the
gentle, earnest, kind-hearted tone of every Sermon in the book. There
is no scolding, no asperity of language, not irritation of manner about
them. At the same time there is no over-strained tenderness, nor
affectation of endearment; but there is a considerate, serious concern
about the peculiar sins and temptations of the people committed to his
charge, and a hearty desire and determined effort for their
salvation."--_Theologian._

"Simple, intelligible, and affectionate."--_Church and State Gazette._

"Very stirring and practical."--_Christian Remembrancer._

* * * * *

SERMONS ON THE DOCTRINES and the MEANS OF GRACE, and on the SEVEN WORDS FROM THE CROSS. By GEORGE TREVOR, M.A., Canon of York. 12mo., cloth, 6s.

"A volume of excellent, sound sermons, admirably suited to answer the
end for which they were preached and are published, the promotion of
practical piety."--_John Bull._

".... The sermons are manly and earnest in their resolution to look the
truth in the face, and to enforce it against a prejudiced resistance of
which the writer evidently knows but too much; and they show, moreover,
a true conception of the tone by which that resistance is to be
met."--_Scottish Episcopal Journal._

THIRTY SERMONS. By the REV. ALFRED GATTY, M.A., Vicar of Ecclesfield. Second Edition. 12mo., cloth, 8s.

A SECOND SERIES OF SERMONS. By the REV. ALFRED GATTY. 12mo., 8s., cloth.

"We say willingly of these Sermons, what we can seldom say of sermons
published at the request of parishioners, that they justify the respect
paid to them, and appear to us in somewhat the same light as we should
suppose they seemed to those who listened to and admired them. They are
sermons of a high and solid character, and are the production of a good
Churchman. They are earnest and affectionate, and follow out the
Church's doctrine."--_Theologian._

"Plain and practical, but close and scholarly
discourses."--_Spectator._

"Warm-hearted and thoughtful."--_Guardian._

THE VICAR AND HIS DUTIES: being Sketches of Clerical Life in a Manufacturing Town Parish. By the REV. A. GATTY. 12mo., cloth, with Frontispiece, 2s. 6d.

"As much a true effigy, though taken with pen and ink, as if Mr. Gatty
had put that capital parish priest, the Vicar of Leeds, before his
camera. To the many friends of Dr. Hook this little volume will be
deeply interesting."--_Notes and Queries._
