Now ready and for sale by the Booksellers, NOTES FROM THE PLYMOUTH PULPIT. * A collection of Memorable Passages from the DISCOURSES OF HENRY WARD BEHOHER, With a iketch of Mr. BEECHERand the Lecture Room. By AUGUSTA MOORE. FROM THE EDITOR’S INTRODUCTION. The Notes contained in this volume are chiefly from memory. The most of them were written during the years 1850-57, and were committed to paper simply be cause it, was impossible to think of, or to write, any thing else with a mind so fully possessed by the memory of the sermons from which they were taken. The writer has tried faithfully to givefthe true sense, and, as far avanamory would assist, the exaot expressions of Mr. Beecher. It is not the beauty of Mr. Beecher's expressions, nor the startling and resplendent flashes of his thought that this book will 'show, so much as his presentation of simple and holy truth, in such guise as never fails to interest and instruct all whose notice is gained. And thousands who cannot be induced to poruse long ser mons will cheerfully read, and undoubtedly remember, the vital truths Illustrated and enforced in the follow ing pages. The volume is a testimony to the power with whioh themied from whence it sprung influences other minds, aid of tho nature of that influence. LIST OP CONTENTS— (Ix part).
