Excerpt from Sermons If my readers consider the old adage true, that "a great book is a great evil, " most of them, I presume, will agree with me in thinking that a long preface is generally a greater. I shall, therefore, trouble them with only a very short one. I hardly know whether the Sermons in this volume should be called miscellaneous. They are not, it is true, a continuous course on one general subject. Yet are they not entirely unconnected, or taken, as to their respective topics, at random. They may be regarded as consisting of several distinct series, - and, at the same time, as all bearing to each other some sufficiently natural relation, - what may be called, perhaps, according to the late Dr. Brown's nomenclature, the relation of suggestion. - The illustration of the great theme of apostolic preaching, - "Christ crucified" - led immediately to the offence of the Cross, or the Causes why the testimony of the Apostles fails to meet with general acceptance amongst mankind.
