Excerpt from The Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Magazine, 1896-97, Vol. 29: Published Under the Direction of the SocietyAlso, a volume of Posthumous Sermons of Crabbe's was published in 1850, edited by the then Rector of Trowbridge, the Rev. John David Hastings, which in all probability were all (twenty-one) preached in Trowbridge. From the preface to this collection it appears that the money for the restoration of the Church in 1847, being deficient, a suggestion was made that the publication of a collection of Crabbe's sermons would probably excite interest, and the profits of sale should be given to the Restoration Fund. The poet's son was appealed to, who said that his father's sermons were in a rough state, and were evidently never intended to be published. However, though he declined to edit them, he eventually consented to their being published. What profits accrued from the sale of them I am unable to state.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
