Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sermons on Various Subjects, Written and Preached at Different Places and Times, During His Public Ministry of Forty-Four Years I have not marked - but those of any magnitude or importance made, while I was preparing them for the press, have all been enclosed in brackets. I have also thought proper to affix to each Sermon, the date or time of its first composition, for reasons I need not here state, as they will naturally suggest themselves to the reader. It will, at least, show that my religious system has been substantially the same throughout the whole period of my ministry: as in the General Convention of 1844, I was publicly charged with having changed my religious sentiments and principles since I came into Virginia. For the same purpose this volume begins with the first, and closes with the last Sermon I ever preached to my own people. I had, indeed, before the fall of 1811, been two and a-half years in the ministry, but I labor ed only as an assistant in the parish of another. The first church, of which I was rector, is that of St. James', Wilmington, N. C. My first Sermon there, indeed, is rather declamatory, and bears marks of ar dent youth, and of the necessary haste in which it was written, immediately after I reached Wilmington. But the reader, I trust, will know how to pardon this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
