  • Footnote: "It is with extreme reluctance that I commit the following sermons to the press ... in vindication of myself against the false and malicious aspersions of a widely circulating daily gazette ...

The republicans are quiet, but not tame.' ... A public charge of seditious intention ... is best refuted and repelled, by submitting the alleged cause to the candour of the public. ..."--Preface, p. [iii]-iv
