Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on the Book of Jonah, Designed Chiefly for the Use of Seamen: To Which Are Added, Two Discourses to Seamen, With Some Prayers and Hymns to Be Used at Sea
The author has the pleasure of knowing, that it is the laudable practice of some Masters of ships, to read a discourse to the crew, every Lord's day, during their voyages: and it would be well if all Masters would adopt the same nrethod of doing good. The want of an ade quate supply of appropriate sermons, for that purpose, was one consideration that induced the author to pub lish these Lectures, with the two Discourses annexed to them. In reading any of the Discourses, on such occasions, some passages addressed to the relations of Seamen, may be omitted.
