ON THE

Saints - Days.

=

"Now when I think thereupon, I pour out my heart by myself;
for I went with the multitude, and brought them forth into the House
of God, in the voice of praise and thanksgiving, among such as keep
Holy Day."-Ps. xlii., 4, 5.

The following Lectures consist almost entirely of compilations from various authors, old and new, and were arranged by the Editor in their present form for delivery in the congregation at the Services of the several Saints-days.

They are now published with a view, please God, of extending their usefulness by circulation in private families and for purposes of occasional reading in the upper classes of schools. They have been found serviceable as Introductions at family-worship, on the Feastdays or their Eves; by the bed-sides of the sick; and in the cottages of the poor.

The Lectures are in fact merely extracts put together in a continuous form, from the works chiefly of Nelson, Cave, Wheatly, Lardner; "The History of the Holy Jesus, &c." by William Smith, (1721); Bishop Mants' "Holy days of the Church;" Bishop Jolly's "Sunday Services:" Newman's 2nd vol. of Parochial Sermons; the "Plain Sermons" published by Messrs. Rivington; the "Festivals and Fasts," an excellent little volume, published by Mr. Burns; and " the Lives of the Apostles and Evangelists," published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge.
