Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1870, by FIELDS, OSGOOD, & co., in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the District of Massachusetts. UNIVERSITY PRESS: WELCH, BIGELOW, & Co., CAMBRIDGE. AOR 2CJUN 34 PREFACE. ITH the exception of a few verbal altera WITH tions, these discourses are now given to the public in the precise form in which they were delivered. Prepared as they were while the writer was under the pressure of continual duties, in weariness often, and mid many distractions, he is sensible of their literary imperfections. He laments most that the truths he aimed to inculcate suffer because of the weakness of the utterance. W. H. H. M. BOSTON, March, 1870. |
