"The Sermons and Discourses of Robert Hall are wonderful compositions; wonderful both for the scale and the variety of the powers they display; a head so metaphysical, seeming to have little in common with an imagination so glowing; declamation so impassioned, with wisdom so practical; touches of pathos so tender, with such caustic irony, such bold invective, such spirit-stirring encouragements to heroic deeds; and all conveyed in language worthy to be the vehicle of such diverse thoughts, precise or luxuriant, stern or playful-that most rare but most eloquent of all kinds of speech, the masculine mother-tongue of an able man, which education has chastened, but not killed; constructed after no model of which we are aware; more massive than Addison, more easy and unconstrained than Johnson, more sober than Burke. "The bold diction, the majestic gait of the sentence, the vivid illustration, the rebuke which could scathe the offender, the burst of honest indignation at triumphant vice, the biting sarcasm, the fervid appeal to the heart, the sagacious development of principle, the broad field of moral vision-all these distinguish the compositions of Robert Hall, and we bear our most willing testimony to their worth."-Quarterly Review. "In the eloquence of the pulpit, Robert Hall comes nearer Massillon than either Cicero or Æschines to Demosthenes."-Lord Brougham. "Here is intellectual food for the scholar, the philosopher, the statesman, and the divine; and expressed in the surpassing language of Robert Hall. He who shall give these volumes a place on his table, will not fail of satisfaction, on whatever page his eye may chance to rest; and his mind is little to be envied, if from the perusal of them, he do not find himself a more accomplished, a wiser, and a better man."-Church of England Quarterly Review. "I will give my general opinion of this divine in the words that were employed to describe a prelate, whose writings, I believe, are familiar to him, and whom he strongly resembles in fertility of imagination, in vigour of thinking, in rectitude of intention, and holiness of life. Yes, Mr. Hall, like Jeremy Taylor, has the eloquence of an orator, the fancy of a poet, the acuteness of a schoolman, the profoundness of a philosopher, and the piety of a saint.'"-Parr (Spital Sermon). "The excellence of Mr. Hall does not consist in the predominance of one of his powers, but in the exquisite proportion and harmony of all. The richness, variety, and extent of his knowledge, are not less remarkable than his absolute mastery over it. His style is one of the clearest and simplest-the least encumbered with its own beauty-of any which ever has been written.”—London Magazine. "His sermons are distinguished by solid and profound philosophy, and breathe a spirit of humility, piety, and charity, worthy of that pure and divine religion, to the defence of which the author has concentrated his talents. His eloquence is of the highest order, the natural effusion of a fertile imagination and of an ardent mind, while his style is easy, various, and animated. On a review of all his various excellencies, we cannot but expect with confidence that the name of Robert Hall will be placed by posterity among the best writers of the age, as well as the most vigorous defenders of religious truth, and the brightest examples of Christian charity."-Sir J. Mackintosh. INDEX. Abbott's Teacher, 37 (W. H.)
