Author Description

Excerpt from Book of Sermons: Practical and Controversial The following discourses are published at the suggestion and by the solicitation of friends, and not because of any special merit the author attaches to them. Some of them were written years ago, and now appear again, slightly revised. Others have been recently written, and now for the first time appear in print. The sixth sermon is an address to young men by J. Randolph tucker, formerly attorney-general of Virginia, revised and amended by the author of this work. 'i regard it as the best lay sermon extant, and as largely contributing to the value of this book. The eighteenth sermon, by Bro. Geo. Plattenburg, is a very suitable one with which to close the volume, and is specially commended to the consideration of the reader. I have not written for the critic, but for the candid enquirer after the truth; and if I have sometimes seemed severe, I beg the reader to remember that truth is a two-edged sword, cutting both ways.
