Additional Details

A compilation of 21 sermons, each with their own pagination and title pages, issued not long after Whitefield's return from Georgia. Some or all of these sermons were also issued separately. Of American interest are "The Heinous Sin of Drunkenness: A Sermon Preached on Board the Whitaker" and "Thankfulness for Mercies Received a Necessary Duty: A Farewell Sermon Preached on Board the Whitaker, at Anchor near Savannah in Georgia." ESTC lists 7 copies, and provides a complete listing of the parts. No copies known at auction thus, though Goodspeed's offered one in 1916.
