THE GATHERER; BEING A CHOICE COLLECTION OF Religious Extracts FROM THE MOST APPROVED AUTHORS. GUERNSEY: PRINTED BY STEPHEN BARBET, SMITH-STREET. 1830. ADVERTISEMENT. THE following pages contain choice pieces, selected from the most celebrated English divines of ancient and modern times. None of them are of a strictly polemical character, but rather of an experimental and practical one; and the subjects being as diversified as they are numerous, it may be safely asserted, that the work, though not perhaps systematically arranged, embraces no contemptible body of evangelical divinity. It is therefore recommended, with confidence, to serious christians of every denomination, not only as worthy a place in their library, but chiefly as a pocket companion, to be taken up and perused during short intervals of leisure |
