Nine Sermons

Excerpt from Nine Sermons: Preached in the Years 1718-19
In determining on the publication of posthumous writing, the principal considerations are, whether they are the genuine remains of the person to whom they are attributed, and whether they are worthy of his character and usefulness. Inattention to these considerations has, not unfrequently, been the means of injuring the reputation of the illustrious dead. The honoured memory of Dr. Watts did not escape an attempt thus to depreciate it, in two volumes published several years ago, under the title of his "Posthumous Works." But the imposition was too gross to acquire any acceptance with the public, and it soon fell into the contempt which it deserved.
