PLAIN SERMONS. By the late REV. EDWARD BLENCOWE. 3 vols., fcap. 8vo., cloth, 7s. 6d. Each sold separately.
"Their style is simple; the sentences are not artfully constructed: and there is an utter absence of all attempt at rhetoric. The language is plain Saxon language, from which 'the men on the wall' can easily gather what it most concerns them to know.
"Again, the range of thought is not high and difficult, but level and easy for the wayfaring man to follow. It is quite evident that the author's mind was able and cultivated; yet, as a teacher to men of low estate, he makes no display of eloquence or argument.
"In the statements of Christian doctrine, the reality of Mr. Blencowe's mind is very striking. There is a strength and a 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.'
"His affectionateness too is no less conspicuous; this is shown in the gentle, earnest, kind-hearted tone of every Sermon in the book. There is no scolding, no asperity of language, not irritation of manner about them. At the same time there is no over-strained tenderness, nor affectation of endearment; but there is a considerate, serious concern about the peculiar sins and temptations of the people committed to his charge, and a hearty desire and determined effort for their salvation."--_Theologian._
