"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, no 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._
THIRTY SERMONS. By the Rev. ALFRED GATTY, M.A., Vicar of Ecclesfield. 2
vols. 12mo. Cloth, 8s. each.
"Sermons of a high and solid character, and the production of a good
Churchman. They are earnest and affectionate, and follow out the
Church's doctrine."--_Theologian._
"Of all the sermons I have ever seen, they are by far the best adapted
to such congregations as I have had to preach to, at any rate, in my
opinion; and as a further proof of their adaptation to the people's
wants--and indeed the best proof that could be given--I have been
requested by some of my parishioners to lend them sermons which were
almost verbatim et literatim transcripts of yours. That you may judge
of the extent to which I have been indebted to you, I may mention that
out of about seventy sermons which I preached at W----, five or six
were Paley's, and fifteen or sixteen yours. For my own credit's sake I
must add, that all the rest were entirely my own."--_Extracted from the
Letter of a Stranger to the Author._
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. An additional interest attaches to them on account of
recent circumstances connected with the writer's name, as they more
than sufficiently attest his fitness for pulpit ministrations in the
English Church. They are well calculated also for family
reading."--_John Bull._
