ADVERTISEMENT.

Ir is necessary to mention that the Ninth Lecture is almost literally a reprint of the Sermon "On the Church of the Apostles," in the course of Sermons preached by Professor Blunt before the University of Cambridge in 1845. From the time of its publication in that volume, it had ceased to be delivered as a Lecture; but it has been thought right to introduce it in its place here, as forming part of the Series.

Several passages in the same Lecture will be found also in the second chapter of the History of the Church in the First Three Centuries; and in the Ramsden Sermon, preached by the same author in 1852, some of the same thoughts are reproduced that occur in the Lecture on Pastoral Conversation. The whole of the work is printed almost verbatim from a transcript of the original manuscript; those upon whom the task, or rather the privilege, of preparing it for the press has fallen, having been unwilling to touch the Author's wellremembered words.
