Excerpt from Lay Sermons

The Lay Sermons, to which the attention of the reader is now invited, taken together, may be regarded as a contribution to religious philosophy, considered under three' aspects, as politics or the doctrine of civil rights, and duties; as mental philosophy; and as theology, commonly so called. AS above remarked, these are exhibited in mutual connexion; but of the two treatises the latter is more political, the former more expressly theo logical; while the Appendix to the first Sermon, not the least valuable portion of the whole, contains what is most peculiar to the author, in the region of pure thought.

Excerpt from Lay Sermons

It is the object of the Lay Sermons to exhibit them as necessarily interdependent. With somewhat of an occasional character, with an express reference to a particular conjuncture of affairs, not without an appearance, though an appearance only, of political bias, and with considerable warmth of language, they conciliated no prepossessions, and were calculated to serve no party purpose. Above all, they were found to require a fixity of attention in the perusal, and an. amount of patient afterthought, which it would be unreasonable to expect from the many, and which is not easy to obtain, for any deeper process of self-knowledge, even from a few.

Yet it cannot be doubted that these Sermons have found readers, more or less thoughtful, and have contributed with the rest of the author's writings, to leaven the public mind. Opinions, here combated, it might almost seem with the energy of despair, - ways of thinking then all but universal, are now no longer prevalent; - at least they no longer rise to the surface.
