"There is no question which the Clergy are more frequently asked, and to which they find it more difficult to give a satisfactory reply, than this-What Sermons would they recommend for the use of a private family? There are so many circumstances which render the greater part of modern discourses totally unfit for the purposes of domestic instruction, and the old standards, unmodernised, are so little intelligible to common ears, that it is no easy matter to point out any set of discourses embracing a sufficient variety to excite attention, at the same time forcibly inculcating the pure doctrines and practical precepts of Christianity. We really think that Mr. Pitman's work bids fair to supply the deficiency which has been so much regretted."—Quarterly Theolog. Review.

A Third Edition, revised throughout, of the FIRST COURSE, is just published, same size and price as above.
