A /LECTURES/ DELIVERED AT BROADMEAD CHAPEL, BRISTOL, BY JOHN FOSTER. ガ Second Series. LONDON: JACKSON AND WALFORD: 18, ST. PAUL'S CHURCHYARD. M.DCCC.XLVII. ADVERTISEMENT. IN preparing this volume for the press, the Editor has faithfully adhered, as he did in the former series, to the original manuscripts, and permitted himself to make simply those slight additions which were necessary to remove from the composition the appearance of detached hints: persons who are familiar with Mr. Foster's writings, will not fail to recognize, even in these unfinished remains, one of their characteristic excellences-a linked consecutiveness of the thoughts. The first fifteen lectures are arranged according to their dates; the others were delivered at various intervals, but all of them, it is believed, before the commencement of the year 1826. Two (the twentyseventh and thirtieth), it will be perceived, do not belong to the series of lectures, but were discourses prepared for special occasions, as was the case also with the thirty-first. They bear, however, so small a proportion to the rest, and are so similar in their general structure, that it has not appeared needful, on account of their insertion, to alter the title of the volume. The last lecture ("On Access to God,") had the advantage of being revised for the press by Mr. Foster himself, for the use of the Religious Tract Society, and is here reprinted with the consent of the Committee. Northampton, March 11, 1847. J. E. R. CONTENTS. JONAH i.-iv.
