Expository Discourses on the Book of Genesis - Interspersed With Practical Reflections #225771

My dear brethren,<br><br>It is now upwards of twenty-two years since I first took the oversight of you in the Lord. During the last fifteen years, it has, as you know, been my practice to expound amongst you on a Lord's-day morning some part of the Holy Scriptures, commonly a chapter. From all that I have felt in my own mind, and heard from you, I have reason to hope these exercises have not been in vain. They have enabled us to take a more connected view of the Scriptures than could be obtained merely by Sermons on particular passages; and I acknowledge that as I have proceeded, the work of exposition has become more and more interesting to my heart.<br><br>I have not been in the habit of writing Dedications to what I have published; but in this instance I feel inclined to deviate from my usual practice.
