p.3ADVERTISEMENT.

The Sermons of Christmas Evanscontained in this volume, and the extracts from his journal andother writings given in the following Memoir and Portraiture, aretranslated by two different hands, and in very differentstyles.  The former are clothed in very good English, butthe diction of the latter requires an apology.  Unable toprocure a better version, we have furnished such as we found; andit is hoped that even this, with all its imperfections, will notbe wholly unprofitable to the reader.

The writer does not wish to be held responsible for theTheological Views put forth, either in the extracts alluded to,or in the sermons.  Christmas Evans was a CalvinisticBaptist, and several of his sermons inculcate, to some extent,the peculiar doctrines of that denomination; though they aregenerally free from sectarian bias, and may be read withadvantage by spiritual Christians of all evangelical creeds.
