[NATIONAL REVIEW.]

"A volume of very fine Sermons, quite equal to the previous
series."

[BRIGHTON EXAMINER.]

"There is in the Sermons in this volume the same freshness, vigour
of thought and felicity of expression, as characterised whatever
Mr. Robertson said."

[ECONOMIST.]

"Mr. Robertson's Sermons have the great and rare merit of
neutralising by a more charitable and affectionate spirit, and by
a wider intelligence, all that may appear rigid and _doctrinaire_
in the Church of England. The result seems to have been his
special mission: it most fully explains the mind of the man.... We

earnestness of mind so steadfast in the search of truth, and a
charity so pure and all-embracing, that we cannot venture to offer
praise, which would be, in this case, almost as presumptuous as
criticism."

[SATURDAY REVIEW.]

"When Mr. Robertson died, his name was scarcely known beyond the
circle of his own private friends, and of those among whom he had
laboured in his calling. Now, every word he wrote is eagerly
sought for and affectionately treasured up, and meets with the
most reverent and admiring welcome from men of all parties and all
shades of opinion.... To those that find in his writings what they
themselves want, he is a teacher quite beyond comparison--his
words having a meaning, his thoughts a truth and depth, which they
cannot find elsewhere. And they never look to him in vain.... He
fixes himself upon the recollection as a most original and
profound thinker, and as a man in whom excellence puts on a new
form.... There are many persons, and the number increases every
year, to whom Robertson's writings are the most stable,
satisfactory, and exhaustless form of religious teaching which the
nineteenth century has given--the most wise, suggestive, and
practical."

[BRIGHTON HERALD.]

"To our thinking, no compositions of the same class, at least
since the days of Jeremy Taylor, can be compared with these
Sermons delivered to the congregation of Trinity Chapel, Brighton,
by their late minister. They have that power over the mind which
belongs only to the highest works o
