deep interest these have ever excited, and the
impression they made upon various audiences,
have induced their publication, and are at once
a proof of their excellence and a guaranty Of
their success. They are eleven in number, and
on subjects adapted to the occasion, and pecu

benefit they were intended. The volume con-
