Overall, Sermons On National Subjects is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that encourages readers to think critically about the world around them and take action to make it a better place.In all countries, and in all ages, the world has been full of complaints of Law and Government. And one hears the same complaints in England now. You hear complaints that the laws favour one party and one rank more than another, that they are expensive, and harsh, and unfair, and what not?--But I think, my friends, that for us, and especially on this Whit-Sunday, it will be much wiser, instead of complaining of the laws, to complain of ourselves, for needing those laws. For what is it that makes laws necessary at all, except man’s sinfulness? Adam required no laws in the garden of Eden.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
