Chapter C: LONSDALE, 26. Old Bond Street

PLAIN SERMONS, addressed to a Country Congregation. By the late Rev. EDWARD BLENCOWE, Curate of Teversal, and formerly Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford. Fourth edition, foolscap 8vo. cloth, 7_s._ 6_d._

A SECOND SERIES. New edition, foolscap 8vo. cloth, 7_s._ 6_d._

A THIRD SERIES. Foolscap 8vo. cloth, 7_s._ 6_d._

"The numerous possessors of Mr. Blencowe's former plain but
excellent volumes will be glad to receive the third series of his
'Plain Sermons addressed to a Country Congregation,' similar in
character and texture to the two series which have preceded
it."--_Guardian._

"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."--_Theologian._
