Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Guilt, Folly, and Sources of Suicide: Two Discourses, Preached in the City of New-York, February, 1805
There is little prospect of success, on the principle of human probability, in addressing those who have become inveterate in corrupt habits; or whose minds are already prepared for the last act of violence which a despairing mortal can commit But to admonish the young; to instruct the inexperienced; to warn those who are entering on the stage of life, against the errors, the excesses, the false hopes, and the numberless delusions to which they are exposed; and to endeavour to imbue with s'en timents of virtue and piety those whose char acter and habits are yet imperfectly formed; as they are among the most important, so they are also among the most encouraging parts-of bur pastoral'duty. If, in these respects, the following pages should be found, even m a single instance, productiveof good, I shall consider myself as richly rewarded.
