Excerpt from Eight Discourses: Preached Before the University of Cambridge in the Year MDCCCXLIV

The duty of the Lecturer or Preacher, appointed under the will of the late Rev. John Hulse, M.A. of St. John's College, was originally to preach twenty Sermons during the year at St. Mary's Church in Cambridge, upon "The Evidence for Revealed Religion, the Truth and Excellence of Christianity, or the more difficult Texts and obscure parts of the Holy Scriptures, such as might appear to be more generally useful and necessary to be explained."

By an order of the Court of Chancery, the number of Lectures has been reduced to eight: and the Preacher is required to print them within twelve months after the delivery of the last Lecture.
