Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Poems and Fancies
I have added to the verses some fantasies which the reader must not think quite crazy. And I do not like to close what is substantially the record of a life without printing in it some of the editorial papers which, from time to time or from month to month, it has seemed my duty or it has been my pleasure to write and publish.
I suppose that fifteen or sixteen hundred ser mons make more than half of all that I have written in more than fifty years. Most of these sermons I have, - some in manuscript, some in print. In planning the Library Edition of my works I proposed that this tenth volume should contain a selection from them. But, as the year has passed, I have found it quite impossible to make the selection as I should have been glad to do, and I do not attempt to print any of them here. As we say when the half-hour assigned to a ser mon in the pulpit is over, I must reserve this for another occasion.
