These non-sectarian sermons were preached to the boarders at the Adams Academy. They are for an audience of boys, ages 13 - 20, and are shorter than typical sermons. They are cheerful, and inspired by the sermons of Dr. James Walker. "The author believes this is the first attempt of an American schoolmaster to follow in the track of Arnoild, Vaughan, Temple, Butler, and other noble school preachers of England - Introduction." These sermons were given during the winters of 1880 and 1881.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
