MY LORD, THE following Sermons would not have met the public eye, but from the suggestion of some friends, who had derived consolation and comfort from the soundness of the doctrine and simplicity of the style; the Author, having been honored while living, with the approbation of a man of your Lordship's exalted rank and benevolence of character, and your permission for his labors being dedicated to you, are the strongest proofs he was one in whom precept and example were most rigidly combined. I have the honor to subscribe myself, Your Lordship's most grateful Servant, C. E. CLARKE. 10, Lower Grosvenor-Place, London. LIST OF SUBSCRIBERS. A. Sir Thomas D.
