Présentation de l'éditeur
The last time that I saw Mr. Parker, just previous to his leaving Boston for theW est I ndies, in the latter part of January, 1859, while he was making his final arrangements, not only for the immediate voyage, but with a view to the possibility of his never returning, I said to him that I should be glad to publish a volume of selections from my phonographic notes of his sermons, taken down from Sunday to Sunday, as they were delivered during several years previous. He gave his cordial assent to the proposal, and afterwards alluded to it several times in his correspondence with me and with others, during the year that followed, while vainly seeking the restoration of his health in foreign lands. Shortly before I made this suggestion he had written to me thus: It has been a great comfort to me often to think that after I have passed away some of my best things might still be collected from my rough notes and your nice photograph of the winged words. The things I value most are not always such as get printed. The book was commenced long since, but, from various considerations, its completion has been delayed until this time. Since whatever of truth or instruction it may contain is as applicable at this day as at any other, it is believed that this postponement has not impaired its value. The selections have been made from the sermons of ten years, extending from 1849 to 1859, and embrace a wide range of topics.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
