Excerpt from A Sermon, on Occasion of the Late Fire, in the City of New York This is the language which I address to you, my brethren, on the unprecedented calamity of the past week, unprecedented, certainly, in this country. It has been compared with similar events in history, but as we cannot desire to exaggerate the evil which has befallen us, it may be proper here to state how entirely it falls short of those calamitous visitations of Pro...

Excerpt from On American Morals and Manners We propose to offer some observations in this article on American morals and manners. There is, at this moment, a very extraordinary crisis of opinion in Europe with regard to this country.

Excerpt from Autobiography and Letters of Orville Dewey, D. D Of an aged tree in the vast forests of his native hills, when the deep thunder of the crash is heard afar, and a new Opening is made towards heaven for those who stand near, but when to the general eye there is no change in the rich woodland that clothes the mountain side.

Excerpt from Discourses on Human Nature: Human Life, and the Nature of Religion Let me add, that no attempt is made at a full discussion of any of the subjects embraced in these Volumes. I sup pose that a Treatise is not usually expected in a Volume of Sermons. Pulpit Discourses are, from the nature of the case, more like separate Essays, than successive portions of a regular Treatise. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds ...

Excerpt from Moral Views of Commerce, Society and Politics, in Twelve Discourses I am not ignorant, at the same time, in what manner any thing unusual in the subjects or style of religious discourses is likely to be received. I know that there will be some readers, as there have been hearers of these discourses, to say, that a part of them would be more suitable for the Lyceum and lec ture-room. Nay, I will confess, that in delivering them, I...

Excerpt from The Problem of Human Destiny: Or the End of Providence in the World and Man I am sensible that I em putting forth this work at a time when the public mind is absorbed with questions, not of philosophy, but of awful fact, when we are pressed to solve, not the problem of the world, but the problem of our own national stability and honor.
