Author: Edited by W.T. MooreThe Living Pulpit of the Christian Church
Edited by W.T. Moore. (1868)
This is a collection of 28 sermons by those who were at the time still alive and preaching (hence the title, "The Living Pulpit..."). Unfortunately, one of the authors passed away while the book was being prepared. Each sermon is preceded by a biographical sketch of the preacher. The biographical sketches are interesting in and of themselves, because you have quotes like this (bold font mine):
"As a speaker, he is clear, pointed, earnest, and impressive. He is very choice in his selection of words, and generally says the right thing in the right way. He has scarcely enough passion for an orator, and his voice, though well modulated, and perfectly under his control, has not sufficient volume for fine effect. His gesticulation is graceful, and his manner pleasing, but his preaching is better adapted to a select audience than the masses. He is an excellent pastor, but does not succeed so well as an Evangelist."
