TO THE VENERABLE

CHARLES CARR CLERKE, B. D.

ARCHDEACON OF OXFORD,

ETC. ETC. ETC.

WHOSE KINDNESS APPOINTED HIM TO THE OFFICE

IN THE DISCHARGE OF WHICH

THE FOLLOWING SERMONS WERE PREACHED,

THIS VOLUME

IS INSCRIBED

WITH THE SINCERE RESPECT

OF HIS

AFFECTIONATE FRIEND AND SERVANT,

W. JACOBSON.

THESE Sermons were printed as a parting token of goodwill to my late Parishioners. And they are published in the hope that the sale of the volume may possibly benefit the Iffley Parochial Schools.

It will at once be seen that they make no pretension to originality; but it is proper to make a distinct acknowledgment of my obligations in Sermon XIII. to the seventh letter in the Hon. and Rev. S. G. Osborne's "Hints to the Charitable," and in Sermon XIV. to a Sermon on the same subject by the Provost of Oriel, and to Mr. Wilberforce's Prize Essay on the Parochial System.

October, 1840.
