THE Sermons contained in this volume were preached at Great Oakley, an agricultural village in Essex, of which parish the late Professor Blunt was for a few years Rector. They were written in the course of his parochial ministrations, without any view to publication : but, at a later period, having been often requested to print some of his Parish Sermons, he had intended to do so when he should have leisure for their revision. His sudden and lamented death prevented this intention being executed by himself, and it has fallen to others to carry it into effect in a less perfect manner. In the selection and revision of the sermons great assistance has been afforded by the Rev. H. H. Hughes, of Layham, a very intimate and valued friend of the writer. No other correction has been made in them than of such small inaccuracies as are incidental to a work which has not been revised for publication by its author. With this exception they are printed just as they were preached. |
