Excerpt from Sermons: With a History of Surrey Chapel and Its Institutions Gentlemen: I am much obliged to you for consulting me in reference to the publication of some of the sermons I preached in the United States, and for giving me the opportunity of selection and revision. This is a courtesy due to every author, but not always shown to those who speak as well as write, and to whom the injustice is sometimes done of placing on permanent, record in a book, not only their own accidental errors of delivery, But the mistakes both of reporter and of printer. I wish it to be known that I cannot hold myself responsible for any ser mons attributed to me which I have not myself revised previous to publication; and that yourselves, together with Messrs. Ticknor Fields, Boston, are the only pub liebing houses, and the New York Independent and the Boston Congregationalist the only newspapers, which have authority from myself to issue discourses in my'name. With the sermons now forwarded I also send, according to your request, a short account of Surrey Chapel and its Institutions.
