Excerpt from Outlines of Instructions or Meditations: For the Church's SeasonsThey were at first set aside, while we were occupied with the work of selecting the Sermons, and preparing them for the press; but when that began to draw to a close, the loose papers were looked into, and the more they were considered, the more valuable they appeared varying extremely in character, there was in them that combination of exceeding simplicity with deep and ac curate theology, and wonderful familiarity with Holy Scripture, which is such a marked characteristic of his Sermons; and many of them had an originality peculi arly his own, which their very shortness and abrupt ness seemed to bring out, even more forcibly than if they had been filled out into finished compositions.A number of them were copied, and shewn to Dr. Pusey, who entirely approved of their publication, and kindly looked over and compared with the originals, by far the larger number of those which form the contents of the present Volume. Specimens of them have since been occasionally submitted to others, in whose judgment we had confidence, and in every case the expressions of approval have been strong and uni form. In more than one instance the opinion was even given, that these outlines would be, to some, of more value than finished Sermons.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
