Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of John Donne, D.D., Dean of Saint Paul's, 1621-1631, Vol. 1 of 6: With a Memoir of His Life
Circumstances arising from the great difficulty of obtaining the second and third folio volumes of Sermons, have occasioned the filling up of Vol. III. Of this edition with the Devotions, to the interruption of the Sermons.
The Letters will be found valuable both from their intrinsic merit, and from their use in illustrating the life and times of their Author. This latter service is however considerably diminished, by many of them being, in the old edition, published without dates.
