Richard Price : Sermons on the Christian Doctrine, as Received by the Different Denominations of Christians

'I had rather you would not read Dr Price's sermons, as they would lead you into controversial disputes, and your limited range of books would not afford you a clue - the Dissertations are less entangled with controversial points, and contain useful truths - coming warm from the heart they find the direct road to it; but the sermons require more profound thinking, are not calculated to improve the generality'

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Mary Wollstonecraft      Print: Book

  

Richard Price : Four Dissertations

'I had rather you would not read Dr Price's sermons, as they would lead you into controversial disputes, and your limited range of books would not afford you a clue - the Dissertations are less entangled with controversial points, and contain useful truths - coming warm from the heart they find the direct road to it; but the sermons require more profound thinking, are not calculated to improve the generality.'

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Mary Wollstonecraft      Print: Book

  

Richard Price : [volume of sermons]

'At the request of our landlady, I looked over a volume of Sermons by the eminent Unitarian minister, Dr. Price. I did this, however, out of mere courtesy: for although I have no objection to read any regular treatise on theological subjects, I have never been much disposed to read sermons. I ventured to report so favourably concerning these discourses, that the good woman was quite satisfied that she would do well to read them.'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Thomas Carter      Print: Book
