before sending it forth, lest perchance, in the estimation of those who were strangers to the Dean, and who could therefore judge of him only by this small volume, injury might be done to a reputation so deservedly high. If we have at length resolved on publishing a few sermons and addresses, as herein contained, we commend the book more to the loving memory of friends, than to the cold criticism of the reviewer. There is little in these pages which the writer intended should have more than an ephemeral existence. Probably had his own hand revised them, he would have eliminated something, and have added more. To those for whom this volume is published its contents will not be less, but more, valued coming to them as they were left by the Author.

This little volume, containing as it does but a very small portion of the unwearied utterances wherein Achilles Daunt sought to unfold the simple truths of the Gospel, is sent forth with earnest prayer that the Holy Spirit, who so largely blessed the living preacher, would graciously grant that "he being dead" may yet "speak."-Heb. xi. 4.
