On the 27th instant, fcp. 8vo. price 7s. 6d., a Third Series of PLAIN
SERMONS addressed to a COUNTRY CONGREGATION.

Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford. Also, A NEW EDITION of the FIRST SERIES,
and a SECOND EDITION of the SECOND SERIES, price 7s. 6d. each.
"Their style is simple; the sentences are not artfully constructed; and
there is an utter absence of all attempt at rhetoric. The language is plain
Saxton language, from which 'the men on the wall' can easily gather what it
most concerns them to know.
"Again, the range of thought is not high and difficult, but level and easy
for the wayfaring man to follow. It is quite evident that the author's mind
was able and cultivated; yet as a teacher to men of low estate, he makes no
displays of eloquence or argument.
"In the statements of Christian doctrine the reality of Mr. Blencowe's mind
is very striking. There is a strength, and a warmth, and a life, in his
mention of the great truths of the Gospel, which show that he spoke from
the heart, and that, like the Apostle of old, he could say--'I believe, and
therefore have I spoken.'
"His affectionateness too is no less conspicuous; this is shown in the
gentle, earnest, kind-hearted tone of every Sermon in the book. There is no
scolding, no asperity of language, no irritation of manner about them. At
the same time there is no over-strained tenderness, nor affectation of
endearment; but there is a considerate, serious concern, about the peculiar
sins and temptations of the people committed to his charge, and a hearty
desire and determined effort for their salvation."--_Theologian._
"Simple, intelligible, and affectionate."--_Church and State Gazette._
"Very stirring and practical."--_Christian Remembrancer._
"The discourses are plain, interesting, and pre-eminently
practical."--_English Churchman._
"Plain, short, and affectionate discourses."--_English Review._
Also, 2 vols. 12mo., sold separately, 8_s_. each.
SERMONS. By the Rev. ALFRED GATTY, M.A., Vicar of Ecclesfield.
"Sermons of a high and solid character--earnest and
affectionate."--_Theologian._
"Plain and practical, but close and scholarly discourses."--_Spectator._
