This selection of sermons on Revival were first published five years after his death and were compiled from the notes taken down by hearers but 'without the least view to publication.' One advantage of this is that they bring before us the extemporaneous pleadings with sinners in which few so greatly excelled as did McCheyne. These sermons are stamped with eternity; they are the expression of one upon whose heart the weight of perishing sinners pressed and who earnestly longed for their conversion.
