Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Divine Authority and Perpetual Obligation of the Lord's Day: Asserted in Seven Sermons, Delivered at the Parish Church of St. Mary, Islington, in the Months of July and August, 1830 Much might justly be said in commendation of the plan and style of this volume. A glance at the summary of its contents will at once show such a selection of topics, such a felicity in the statement of them, and in their order. And connection; and such particularity and completeness, as cannot but afford to the reader very great satisfaction; and in the perusal, instead of a cold, ab stract and formal manner and diction, he will be engaged with a style and manner characterized alike by scriptural simplicity, and by the fervency and earnestness of a truly Christian spirit. And it is to be noticed and commended as alike rare and inestimable in such a work, that the author having exhibited his positions in a strong light and sustained them by suitable arguments, brings them, with all the sincerity and fervor of his own Spirit, to bear on the conscience and heart. Feeling himself a solemn convio tion of the truths he inculcates, and a lively sensibility to their claims upon, the consciences and their bearings upon the charac ters and destinies of men, he cannot proceed with his reader with out bringing him continually to consider these claims as personal, and admonishing andexhorting him to yield to them an imme diate' and cordial obedience. To succeed in argument, and con vince the understanding, does not satisfy him; he labors to gain the will, the affections, the whole inner and outer man. In the spirit of true friendship he takes his reader along with him as an accountable fellow-being in whom he has an interest, and to Whom it is at once his office and happiness to do good.
