PLAIN SERMONS. By the 

 late REV. EDWARD BLENCOWE. 

 Three vols., fcap. 8vo., cloth, 7«. 6d. Each sold 

 ■eparately. 



" Their style is simple ; the sentences are not 

 artfully constructed ; and there is an utter ab- 

 eence of all attempt at rhetoric. Tlie lan- 

 guage is plain Saxon languajre, from which 



the men on the wall ' can easily gather what 

 It most concerns them to know. 



" 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 con- 

 spicuous ; this is shown in the gentle, earnest, 

 kind-hearted toneof 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 con- 

 eiderate, serious concern about the peculiar 

 Bins and temptations of the people committed 

 to his charge, and a hearty desire and deter- 

 mined effort for their salvation."— Theologian.
