Excerpt from Select Discourses by Adolphe Monod, Krummacher, Tholuck, and Julius Müller: Translated From the French and German, With Biographical Notices, and Dr. Monod's Celebrated Lecture on the Delivery of Sermons

The object in the preparation and publication of this volume, has been to render accessible to Christian readers generally, some of the rich literary and religious treasures which lie hidden in the writings of the good and great men here represented. Several of the Dis courses here presented, have long had the reputation, in Europe, of being among the chefs-d'ceuvre of their respective authors. This is true, for example, of the two of Dr. Monod on woman, and his three on the temptation OF christ; and those of Dr. Krummacher on the same subject; which, for deep penetration and lofty eloquence, are not excelled by anything that this celebrated author has ever published. It is believed that these two sets of sermons on the temptation OF our blessed lord, coming as they do from two of the ablest and most eloquent preachers of this age, contain a more touching, instructive, and exhaustive discussion of this deeply interesting subject than is elsewhere to be found.

Professor Tholuck's Discourse on the christian life as A glorified childhood, is a precious gem; and each of his sermons here furnished will enhance his already distinguished reputation. Those of Professor Muller will be the more gratefully received, from the fact that none of his Discourses, with a single exception, * have ever appeared in an English dress.
