Lectures and Sermons (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Lectures and Sermons In addition to the above, Dr. Davidson left many written addresses at fencing the tables, previous to the celebration of the Lord's Supper; addresses at the table; notes of exposition of the Confession of Faith; and of continuous portions of the Scripture at the weekly prayer meetings, held on Thursday evenings during the greater part of his ministry. From such a mass it would have been difficult, and no attempt has been made by a perusal of the whole, to make a proper selection. In making a selection, regard has been had to the impressions which particular discourses made at the time on the minds of his ordinary hearers, and to the occa sions on which Dr. Davidson afterwards preached them. But after the selection was made, it was found that many of those selected had to' be reserved, in order that the present publica tion should not extend beyond one volume. Those now published are specimens of Dr. Davidson's ordi nary pulpit ministrations, from the time of his translation to the West Church in May 1836 to the end of 1870, and they are arranged in the order of their dates.
