PLAIN SERMONS, addressed to a Country Congregation. By the late REV.
EDWARD BLENCOWE, Curate of Teversal, and formerly Fellow of Oriel
College, Oxford.
"Their style is simple--the sentences are not artfully constructed--and
there is an utter absence of all attempts at rhetoric. The language is
plain Saxon language, from which 'the men on the wall' can easily gather
what it most concerns them to know.... In the statements of Christian
doctrine, the reality of Mr. Blencowe's mind is very striking. There is
a strength, and a warmth, and a life, in his mention of the great truths
of the Gospel, which show that he spoke from the heart, and that, like
the apostle of old, he could say, 'I believe, and therefore have I
spoken.'"--_Theologian._
