"No minister of the same aee bus ever, at least in this country, left behind 

 ( him deeper impressions of his eloquence. ThU volume is worthy of critical 

 examination and study ; ntid those who would combine in their sermons ease 

 and elevation, simplicity and energy; who would leave to their hearers no time 

 to sleep, and no wish to be absent, but regret only at the brevity of the service, 

 and delight at the return of the Snbbuth, will find the perusal and re-perusal of 

 Mr. Larned's discourses greatly to their advantage." Knickerbocker. 



" A beautiful and eloquent tribute to sanctified genius. The unity, force, ima- 

 t gination, harmony, and feeling apparent in these discourses, will commend the 

 < volume to all." Christian Observer. 



" A valuable treasure to all who cherish the memory of one of the most pure- 

 ,' minded and eloquent clergymen of our country ; or who know how to appre- 

 ciate the finest specimens of pulpit composition." Tribune. 



" He was one of the most eloquent orators in the United States. Mr. Onney 

 has made a most interesting volume, which will prove an acceptable present to 

 the religious public." Evening Post. 



" A most delightful volume. We heartily commend it to the religious com- 

 munity." Jfev York American. 



" It is much to be wondered at, that no permanent memorial of this dlstin 

 guished divine has ever before been given to the world. The volume cannot fail 

 to be sought for with great avidity." Daily American Citizen. 



These discourses evidently bear the impress of a great mind not only of an 

 exuberant fancy, but of gigantic powers of comprehension. We indeed rejoice 

 that the work has at length appeared. 



"learned was beyond ati question the brightwt star of the American pulpit, 



during the brief period in which he lived. We are gratified to see a memoir 



of dim M> worthily constructed, and so rich in Interesting material. The sermon* 



> are pervaded by the living, breathing spirit of true genius, as well as of evan- 



S gelical truth and fervent devotion." Albany Jirg*t.
