Excerpt from The British Critic, Vol. 17: For January, February, March, April, May, and June, 1801

We turn now to Sermons, whether in volumes, or in a feparate t'tate; and firtt to thofe colleéted into volumes. Of Mr. Gz'lpin'sf firtt volume, we thould fpeak with more fatisfaétion,' were we not, in fome degree, confcious of default, in not having 'yet delia vered our opinion on the f'econd. Such an author, however, has little to apprehend from critics, and the public little to learn on the fubjeét of his merits. The works of M2 Gz'lpz'n will be bought, without particular recommendation. The name of Dr. Grant is lefs known; but his sermons'i, on various fubjeéts and occafions, will tend to give it celebrity. On the fubjeét of Sydney s'zb's§ difcburfes, we regretted that fecond volume obliged. Us greatly to lower our tone; by a very reprehenfible Preface, and the increafe, inttead of amendment, of the faults obferva: ble in his former volume. Still, however, we will not deprive him ofa place in this recapitulation; which, if due to a certain rank of merit, mutt not be denied becaufe the author thinks he has {till higher claims.
