    Wk have here a Sermon to make " our hearts burn within us . " It is truth shining through the pure , growing , and boundless atmosphere of genius . " Thoughts that breathe anclwords that burn * are thickly scattered

    over its pages , and yet no composition has breathed a calmer or a holier spirit since the days when the precept of <* Little children , love one another , ' * flowed from the pen of the venerable Apostle of benevolence , the favoured disciple of Him who , in meekness as well as in suffering , was the Lamb of God . But we cannot expect to anticipate , much less need we strive to

    excite , the admiration of our readers for this last , but not least splendid effusion of Dr . Channing ' s extraordinary mind . A large proportion of them must already have it in their hands , and in their hearts . His former publications have ensured the ample and rapid sale of his future ones , even before their intrinsic and peculiar merits can be ascertained . They have enough , in his name , to secure a prompt and joyous welcome ; and thus is

    Loud-tongued Fame The harbinger to prepare their entertainment . Of this Sermon , which was only preached at Boston on the 21 st of May last , the second American edition came hither upon the heels of the first , the third as quickly followed the second , and at least four contemporaneous reprints greeted its arrival , making the Unitarian presses of England and Scotland mere copying machines for the multiplication of Transatlantic eloquence . And never may they be less nobly or less usefully employed !

    If for a moment preaching might be separated from the awfulness of its responsibility and the spirituality of its end , and considered merely as an art , there would be something in Channing ' s Sermons to touch our nationality to the quick , and make us bid our modern English preachers look to their laurels . We really know not where their ranks would furnish out a champion , whether Established or Dissenting , Orthodox or Heterodox , whom wefcould pit against him with full confidence . Robert Hall occurs
