whole is concluded by an animated re- 
tommendation of those children for 
whose sake the’ sermon was delivered, 
as probably destined for the most part 
to a naval life, and so precluded from 
scenes generally more favourable to the 
oye 
future acquisition of religious know- 
ledge. We could with pleasure select 
this passage, were we not forbidden by 
the limits within which we must contain 
ourselves. ’ 
Art. XXXVII. 4 Sermon, preached at the Chapel in St. Saviour-Gate, York, on Sunday 
December 26, 1892, on Occasion of the much-lamented Death of Robert Cappe, M. D. 
with an Appendix, containing brief Memoirs of his Life. 
LOVED. 8vo. pp. 54. 
A Tribute of affection to the me- 
mory of an excellent and valuable 
friend. The eminence to which the 
Jamented subject of this pathetic dis- 
course and interesting memoir had at- 
tained, in an important profession, at so 
early a period of life, is highly honour- 
able to his memory, and creditable to the 
discernment of his fellow-citizens. The

removal of such a character from the 
scene of extensive usefulness, is an 
event which cannot be fully compre- 
hended, and to which they who survive 
cannot possibly be reconciled, but by 
those Christian principles which the 
preacher has largely illustrated. and 
zealously enforeall 
Art. XXXVIII. The Duties of loving the Brotherhood, fearing God, and honouring 
the King, illustrated and enforced in a Sermon, preached before Two Friendly Societies, 
by the Rev. Francis Sxurray, M.A. Curate of Horningsham, Wilts. 8vo. pp. 32. 
. THIS discourse, boasting of nothing 
eloquent and energetic, derives its value 
from the liberal views, the loyal senti- 
ments, and the truly pious zeal of the 
preacher. ‘ It owes its publication,” 
we are informed, “not to the sugges- 
tions of friendship, nor to any motives 
of literary vanity. It was sent by its 
author to the press, in order to imprint 
more indelibly on the minds of his pa- 
rishioners than verbal recitation possi- 
bly could do, sentiments of unanimity 
and loyalty, at this critical and eventful 
period.” May these desires of the 
preacher be accomplished ! 
Art. XXXIX. A Sermon on the Depravity of the human Heart, exemplified generally 
in the Conduct of the Fews, and particularly in that of Lieut. Col. Despard, previous to 
his Execution ; preached at St. George’s, Hanover-Square, Feb. 27, 1803, ly the Rev. 
W. Lericn, LL. B. Morning Preacher at the 
Plumstead, Norfolk. 8vo. pp. 22. 
WE will not consume our own time 
or that of our readers, in inveighing 
against the too frequent practice of pub- 
lishing single sermons, which have no- 
thing either in the matter or the style, 
no principle enforced by masterly rea- 
soning or illustrated by chaste and vi- 
gorous eloquence, s0 recommend and 
entitle them to public notice ; although 
we might appear to be more than justi- 
aforesaid Church, and Rector of Little 
fied by the discourse now before us.— 
Delivered with all the grace of clerical 
action, the impression it made must have 
been very feeble; and now presented 
to the eye, it does no more than prove 
that the preacher felt what thousands 
felt at the same time, with at least equal 
vigour, but which few would not have 
expressed with far more energy and 
eflect.
