Ramsay and Drew Sermons and Holiness in 19th Century Pulpit
Brief notices review several sermon collections and religious writings. Ramsay’s Pulpit Table-Talk is critiqued as verbose and dull yet offers useful precepts. Drew’s Korah and his Company sermons spar with lack of focus. Darnton’s Beauties of Holiness receives mixed praise for depth. Also noted are Cape’s Seven Words on the Cross, Hardwicke’s Science Gossip, acrostics, New Year hymns, Thorold Rogers’s manual, and multiple religious stories for youth from The Quiver and Nimmo’s Kings of Judah and Israel.

Gleanings from a London Publican and Local Oddities
A South London publican advertises full flavoured ports and sherries at a penny per glass. Reports of gales causing loss of life and property, with Lifeboat Institution help noted. A clergyman comments on breaking stones and hearts, a man replies about knee work. Nenagh board clarifies that a son in law is not liable to support his mother in law in a workhouse. Taunton chestnuts bloom, Glastonbury apple trees blossom twice, Lewes garden trees likewise. A Westminster court case asks what constitutes fancy bread after a baker sold a Bible loaf short of weight.
