warmth, and a life, in his mention of the great truths of the
Gospel, which show that he spoke from the heart, and that, like the Apostle of old, he could say.--'I believe, and therefore have I spoken.'"--_Theologian_. "Plain, short, and affectionate discourse."--_English Review_. 2 Vols. 12mo., 8s. each, sold separately. SERMONS. By ALFRED GATTY M.A., Vicar of Ecclesfield. "We say willingly of these Sermons, what we can seldom say of sermons published at the request of parishioners, that they justify the respect paid to them; and appear to us in somewhat the same light as we should suppose they seemed to those who listened to and admired them. They are sermons of a high and solid character, and are the production of a good Churchman. They are earnest and affectionate, and follow out of the Church's doctrine."--_Theologian_. "Warm-hearted and thoughtful."--_Guardian_. "When the first edition of theses Sermons appeared, we noticed them as a series of plain and practical, but close and scholarly discourses. The appearance of a second edition, in a short time, justifies our recommendation."--_Spectator_. "In the effective simplicity with which Mr. Gatty applies the incidents and precepts of the Gospel to the every-day concerns of life he has no superior."--_Britannia_. |
