A sammelband predominantly comprised of Edinburgh-printed sermons preached by Scottish poet-churchman Ralph Erskine (1685-1752). After studying at Edinburgh, Erskine was ordained as assistant Minister of the Gospel at Dunfermline, succeeding as Minister of Dunfermline Abbey in 1716. His later career saw Erskine follow his somewhat better-known brother Ebenezer out of the established Church of Scotland in 1737 into a newly formed Associate Presbytery.
No doubt an inspirational preacher, his published works include numerous Scottish, Irish and English editions of individual sermons and collections, and even three works translated into Welsh.
