Excerpt from Discourses on Various Subjects
Cut off by ill health from a pastoral connection most interesting to him, the Author of the following Discourses was desirous of leaving among the people of his late charge, some permanent record of the interest he has taken in them, of the words he has spoken to them, and of the satisfaction with which he has met them, from Sabbath to Sabbath, to meditate on the great themes of religion - a satisfaction, let him add, not marred by one moment's disagreement, nor by the altered eye of one individual, during the ten year's continuance of that most delicate and affecting relationship. Circumstances, he has thought, may justify a publication of this nature - friendship and kindness may give it value and utility in their limited circle, though it may not be destined to excite any interest in a wider sphere; and he ventures, therefore, to hope, that this volume may not be entirely useless nor uninteresting to that portion of the religious community generally, with which he has the happiness to be personally acquainted. To his friends - and he cannot deny himself the pleasure of including the few that he claims to be of that number in England - he offers this collection of Discourses, with as much anxiety as he ought, perhaps, to feel for any human opinion, but with an equal reliance on their candour and kindness.
