Book Description

Excerpt from Cambridge Sermons: Preached Before the University But now, on re-reading the manuscript, it ap peared to me that, at this interval of time, I might be able to convince the few who might be interested in being convinced, that, at least in its general tenor, the sermon was not of a nature to set class against class moreover, some parts of the sermon seemed to me to com mend a tendency to Reform, which, however on the increase, still requires much inculcation before it is likely to attain its due force. For these rea sons I have ventured to publish the manuscript, although it covers, to some extent, the same ground as is covered by the Sermon on Work, preached at Cambridge in the following year. I must add that the Westminster Abbey Sermon was written to be spoken, not to be read; though revised, it contains several abrupt expressions and rhetorical terms scarcely adapted for reading. But however it may be aesthetically faulty, it con tains nothing of which I am morally ashamed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
