APPENDIX.

WITHOUT attempting anything like a complete account of the Literature belonging to those depart ments of the History of Preaching which are treated in these lectures, it may be useful to mention some of the principal works in each case, so far as known to the author.

LECTURE II. (Preaching in the Early Christian centuries).

L Works of the Fathers, with the Lives, Prefaces. Monita, etc., of the Benedictine and Migne editions.
Works on Church History.
Gibbon.
Bingham s Antiquities, and Smith s Diet, of Chris tian Antiquities.
IL Paniel, Geschichte der christlichen Beredsamkeit und der Eomiletik 1839. (Much the most thorough work on the General History of Preaching ; but only a fragment, ending with Augustine. Most of the chapter on Chrysostom was translated in the Bibliotheca Sacra 1847.)

JEJbert, Gesch. der christlich-lateinischen Literatur 1874. (Extends to Charlemagne, and designed as Introduction to General History of the Literature of the Middle Ages in the West. A work of great learning, vigor and freshness, in which, however, the history of preaching necessarily occupies a sub ordinate place.)

Villemain, Tableau de 1 Eloquence Chre tienne au IV e Si 6cle. (New edition 1870. A series of very entertaining essays.)

Moule, Christian Oratory during the first five cen turies. London 1859. (A prize essay of consider able interest and value.) Bromel, Homiletische Charakterbilder 1869-74. (Begins with sketches of Chrysostom and Augustine Well written and fair.)

Fish, Masterpieces of Pulpit Eloquence. New York. (Contains sermons, with brief historical sketches of periods and of individual preachers. It would be easy to point out faults in this work, but it is convenient and useful.)

III. On the Life of Chrysostom, Neander is still valuable, Perthes not worth much ; Stephens (London, 1872) is the fullest and best work ; Forster (Gotha, 1869) treats ably of Chrysosfcom in relation to Doc trine-history ; " The Mouth of Gold, " by Edwin Johnson (New York 1873), a sort of dramatic poem on the life and times of Chrysostom, is worth reading. Martin, Saint Jean Chrysostome, ses oauvres et son siecle. Paris 1875, three volumes 8 vo., I have not seen.

LECTURE III. (Medieval and Reformation Preach-Works on Church History, and special works on the Reformation.) Works of St. Bernard, Antony of Padua, Thomas Aquinas, Tauler.

Lives and Works of Luther, Calvin, and Zwingle.

Lenz, Geschichte der christlichen Homiletik, 1839. (Useful, though meagre.) Necde, Medieval Preaching. London 1856. (Not thorough, but serviceable.)

Baring- Gould, Post-Medieval Preaching. London, 1865. (A mere collection of curious odds and enda about second-rate preachers. ) Bromel, Charakterbilder (as above).

Histories of German Preaching, especially those by Schenk and Schmidt, give accounts of Luther as a preacher.

Msh, Masterpieces (as before).

LECTURE IV. (Great French Preachers.) Works of the Preachers in question, especially of Bossuet, Bourdaloue, Massillon, Saurin, A. Monod, Bersier.

Voltaire, Age of Louis XIV.

Vinet, Histoire de la Predication parmi les R 6- forme s de France au Dix-Septime Si Sole. Paris, 1860. (A remarkably good book, containing sketches, representative extracts, critical discussions, and prac tical hints.) Feugere, Bourdaloue : Sa Predication et son Temps. 2 me eU Paris. 1874. (Thorough and able.) Bossuet and his Contemporaries. New York* 1875. (By an English lady. Keadable, and of some value.)

Berthault, Saurin et la Predication Protestante jusqu a la fin du rSgne de Louis XIY. Paris 1875. (Pretty good, but not like Feugere or Vinet. )

Bungener, The Preacher and the King, or Bourda- loue in the Court of Louis XIV. (A new edition of the translation is just issued. Well known as an interesting and instructive story.) Alexander } Thoughts on Preaching. Art. " Elo quence of the French Pulpit." (Quite good.)

Turribull, Pulpit Orators of France and Switzer land. New York 1848. (Several sermons from the first half of this century, with brief sketches of the preachers.)

Fish 9 Masterpieces (as before), and also his Pulpit Eloquence of the nineteenth century. (The trans lation he gives of Bourdaloue is faulty, and that of Massillon is very bad.) LECTURE V. (English Pulpit.) Lives and Works of the Preachers in question. Works on English History.

Works on Ecelesiastical History of England, especially Burnet, Fuller, Wordsworth s Eccl. Biography, Stoughton.

Fish s two works (as above).

Alexander, Thoughts on Preaching. Art. "The Pulpit in Ancient and Modern Times."
