Excerpt from Sermons, Vol. 1 of 2 The author of these discourses is well known'in England as an eloquent and earnest preacher of the Gospel, Envy itself, says the British Critic, must acknowledge his great abilities and great eloquence. Alter having occupied the highest standing, while an under-graduate of the University of Cambridge, he was chosen to a Fellowship in St. Peter's College, and, for some time, was a tutor to that Society Thence he was called to the pastoral charge of Camden Chapel, (a pro prietary chapel, ) in the overgrown parish of Camberwell, one of the populous suburbs of London. The first twelve discourses in this volume were preached in that pulpit, and the rest, while he was connected therewith. It has not unfrequently been the privilege of the Editor to worship and listen, in company with the highly interesting and intelligent congregation that crowds the pews and aisles, and every corner of a standing-place in that edifice; fully participating in that entire and delightful captivity of mind in which their beloved pastor is wont to lead the whole mass of his numerous auditory.
