The remainder of this volume is occupied partly by papers extracted, according to the Author's direction, from Periodical Publications; and partly by small pieces printed during his life, but never before collect ed, and concerning which no instructions were given by the deceased.

These pieces are,

A Sermon, preached on a public occasion, in the year 1800.

Thoughts upon the African Slave Trade.

Addresses to the Inhabitants of Olney, and St. Mary

[blocks in formation]

The Thoughts on the African Slave Trade may appear to some a temporary publication, but the Executors regard it as an important historical document, by one who had been personally engaged in the traffic, and was well acquainted with its horrors; as such, it will be read with interest by posterity.

The Addresses to the Inhabitants of Olney and St. Mary Woolnoth, show the Author's earnest and constant attention to the eternal interests of all his parishioners; and at the same time furnish useful examples to clergymen, of the different means which may be

used to promote the welfare of their people, and of the different style and manner of address which may be adopted.

The Letter on Political Debate is part of a friendly correspondence which took place between the Author and a Minister in the country in the year 1793. It contains some important and interesting considerations on the subject, and was therefore deemed worthy of preservation.

These are all the works published or prepared for the press by the Author, excepting only the Life of the Rev. Mr. Grimshaw, the copy-right of which was given to the soCIETY FOR RELIEVING POOR PIOUS

CLERGYMEN OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH.

The Executors commend the whole to the blessing of Almighty God, calling upon every reader to unite with them in fervent prayer that God would raise up many, who, like his departed servant, may be examples to the believers IN WORD, IN CONVERSATION, IN CAHRITY, IN SPIRIT, IN FAITH, IN PURITY.

LONDON, Oetober 1, 1808.
