By Dr. Spring, Dr. Cox, Dr. Skinner, Dr. De Witt, Dr. Miller, Dr. Sprague, Dr. Carnahan, Dr. Woodbridge, Dr. Rice, Dr. Woods, Dr. Wayland, Dr. Snodgrass, Dr. Griffin." In conformity to the act of Congress of the United States, entitled "An act for the encouragement of learning, by securing the copies of maps, charts, and books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies, during the times therein mentioned;" and also to an act, entitled "An act supplementary to an act, entitled An act for the encouragement of learning, by securing the copies of maps, charts, and books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies, during the times therein mentioned, and extending the benefits thereof to the arts of designing, engraving, and etching historical and other priats." FREDERICK I. BETTS, Clerk of the Southern District of New York. THE DISCOURSES, contained in this volume, were prepared, at the request of the pastor of the church, in which they were delivered, together with other clergymen, residing in the City of New York. It was thought, by them, that a course of Sabbath-evening exercises, on such subjects as are here discussed, and by ministers residing in different parts of the country, could not fail to be interesting and edifying. The result has, in a good degree, justified their expectations. And, in compliance with a wish, expressed by many, who were present during the delivery, the whole series is now presented to the public, through the medium of the press. |
