This is a collection of sermons intended for individuals and families who wanted to extend their religious library. The table of contents is included. Some of the sermons cover the original and current state of the world at the time of publishing, devotion to higher orders of intelligence, envy, and obedience and blessings. The preface of this book states that "The author humbly hopes this work will, in some degree, prove useful for the promoting of its designed end; therefore it is presented to the publick." The book focuses on the well being of man. The issues with the binding could provide an excellent opportunity for restoration, if desired.
