Sermons Preached at Brighton: Third Series
Robertson, Frederick William
Church of England -- Sermons; Sermons, English -- 19th century
"We are glad to see the publication of the eloquent Sermons now
before us, especially those of a devout and practical character,
such as those on the human race and education."
[THE CHRISTIAN WORLD.]
"These Sermons exhibit many of those features of unsurpassable
excellence which have gained for the preacher a reputation which
has had no equal in our time. They are full of thought and
suggestiveness, and are marked by that rare beauty of style which
Mr. Robertson's readers have learned to associate with all his
Sermons. His devoted admirers--and how numerous they are--will be
sure to place this new volume upon their shelves."
A SELECTION FROM THE
NOTICES BY THE PRESS OF
"THE LIFE AND LETTERS OF THE LATE
REV. F.W. ROBERTSON."
[THE SPECTATOR.]
"No book published since the 'Life of Dr. Arnold' has produced so
strong an impression on the moral imagination and spiritual
theology of England as we may expect from these volumes. Even for
those who knew Mr. Robertson well, and for many who knew _him_, as
they thought, better than his Sermons, the free and full
discussion of the highest subjects in the familiar letters so
admirably selected by the Editor of Mr. Robertson's _Life_, will
give a far clearer insight into his remarkable character and
inspire a deeper respect for his clear and manly intellect. Mr.
Brooke has done his work as Dr. Stanley did his in writing the
'Life of Arnold,' and it is not possible to give higher praise....
Everyone will talk of Mr. Robertson, and no one of Mr. Brooke,
because Mr. Brooke has thought much of his subject, nothing of
himself, and hence the figure which he wished to present comes out
quite clear and keen, without any interposing haze of literary
vapour."
