WAYLAND'S UNIVERSITY SERMONS. 



SERMONS DELIVERED IN BROWN UNIVERSITY. 



BY FRAN-CIS WAYLAND, D. D. 

 Second Edition. IQmo. Price $1.00. 



" Few sermons contain so much carefully arranged thought as these by 

 Dr. Wayland. The thorough logician is apparent throughout the volume, 

 and there is a classic purity iu the diction unsurpassed by any writer, and 

 equalled by very few." New York Cunnin.i-i.-i.nl Ai-liu-liscr. 



" They are the careful production of a matured and powerful intellect, 

 and were addressed to a thinking and well-informed audience, and are 

 especially adapted for the educated and thoughtful man." Chr. Alliance, 



" No thinking man can open to any portion of it without finding his atten 

 tion strongly arrested, and feeling inclined to yield his assent to those self 

 evincing statements which appear on every page. As a writer, Dr. Way- 

 land is distinguished by simplicity, strength and comprehensiveness. He 

 addresses himself directly to the intellect more than to the imagination, to 

 the conscience more than to the passions. Yet, through the intellect and 

 the conscience, he often reaches the depths of our emotive nature, and 

 rouses it by words of power. We commend these sermons to all students 

 of moral and religious truth, to all lovers of sound thought conveyed in 

 elegant diction." Walchma/n $ Reflector. 



" The discourses contained in this handsome volume are characterized by 

 all that richness of thought and elegance of language for which their tal- 

 ented author is celebrated. The whole volume is well worthy of the pen 

 of the distinguished scholar and divine from whom it emanates. 

 Dr. Babrd's Christum Union.

Or, Composition and Delivery of Sermons. 

 BY HENRY J. RIPLEY, Prof, in Newton Theological Institution. 



Including WARE'S HINTS ox EXTEMPORANEOUS PREACHING. 

 lmo. Price 75 Cents. 



" An admirably prepared work, clear and succinct in its positions and 

 recommendations, soundly based on good authority, and well supported by 

 a variety of reading and illustrations. It is well adapted for a healthy dis- 

 cipline of the faculty, and there are few preachers who might not with profit 

 revise their practice by its pages. It is worthy, too, of being a companion 

 to Whately, in the general study of Rhetoric." A". Y. Literary World. 



"Prof. Ripley possesses the highest qualifications for a work of this 

 kind. His position has given him great experience in the peculiar wants 

 of theological students." Providence Journal. 



" Hi? canons on selecting texts, stating the proposition, collecting and 

 arranging materials, style, delivery, etc., are just and well stated. Every 

 theological student to "whom this volume is accessible, will be likely to 

 procure it. Chrhtinn Mirror, Portland. 



" This work belongs among the substantiate of our literature. It is man- 

 ifestly the fruit of mature thought and large observation; it is pervaded 

 by a manly tone, and abounds injudicious counsels; it is compactly writ- 

 ten and admirably arranged, both for study and reference. It will become 

 a text book for theological students, we have no doubt; that it deserves 

 to be read by all ministers who can avail themselves of it, and especially 

 by all young ministers, is to us as clear. N. Y. Recorder.
