Bishop Peafee * $ Jubilee Sermon . Sir , Feb . 8 , 1811 . I was not a ^ yare till the oth er day that we had any jubilee ser «*
mons in our language before the memorable year 1809 ; and cer . tainly the compositions then ob * truded upon the public were not of a nature to make tis desirous of
having our English literature enlarged by the discovery of un ^ known similar publications . I find > however , in the list of Bishop Psarce ' s works , in his life ^ p re - fixed to his Commentary , A Jubi * lee Sermon , preached in
Westminster Abbey , on Tuesday , June 3 > 1760 . Now , I cannot learn that this was a holiday in England , or in any sense , a political day , and therefore conclude that the sermori was on the subject of the Jewish Jubilee , and was thence intituled A Jubilee Sermon . If
any of your correspondents should chance to "have the sermon , and will give you soine account of it , he may ^ render many , of your readers a service ; for Bishop Pearce could not have written
any- thing which an intelligent man would not wish , to read . The history of the Mosaic Jubi - lee is very obscure , and any light thrown upon it , would be
gratifying to one who can think upon the subject without shame , not havu ing mixed in the follies and hypocrisies of the * late extraorw diuaiy JUBILEE-- ' ? . ¦¦ ¦
