DISCOURSES TO MIXED CONGREGATIONS. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d. First published in 1849. “ These sermons have a definite tone and genius of their own . . . and though they have not to me quite the delicate charm of the reserve, and I might almost say the shy pas- sion, of his Oxlord sermons, they represent the full-blown blossom of his genius, while the former shows it only in the bud. . . . The extraordinary wealth of detail with which Newman conceives and realises the various sins and miseries of the human lot has, per- haps, never been illustrated in all his writings with so much force as in the wonderful sixteenth sermon on ' The Mental Sufferings of our Lord in His Passion,’ etc. The late Mr. R.
