Robert Traill was endowed Œ€ŒwithŒ€Œ aŒ€Œ first-classŒ€Œ mindŒ€Œ andŒ€Œ hadŒ€Œ enjoyedŒ€Œ a veryŒ€Œ completeŒ€Œ theologicalŒ€Œ education.Œ€Œ Nevertheless,Œ€Œ hisŒ€Œ sermonsŒ€Œ wereŒ€Œ notŒ€Œ meantŒ€Œ toŒ€Œ appealŒ€Œ toŒ€Œ theŒ€Œ learned.Œ€Œ HeŒ€Œ stroveŒ€Œ throughoutŒ€Œ toŒ€Œ promoteŒ€Œ practicalŒ€Œ godliness.Œ€Œ EveryŒ€Œ readerŒ€Œ whoŒ€Œ sharesŒ€Œ hisŒ€Œ outlookŒ€Œ willŒ€Œ findŒ€Œ himŒ€Œ warm,Œ€Œ instructive,Œ€Œ andŒ€Œ encouraging.
J.Œ€ŒC.Œ€ŒRyle,Œ€Œ whoŒ€Œ frequentlyŒ€Œ quotesŒ€Œ fromŒ€Œ TraillŒ€Œ inŒ€Œ hisŒ€Œ writings,Œ€Œ introducesŒ€Œ oneŒ€Œ lengthyŒ€Œ extractŒ€Œ withŒ€Œ theŒ€Œ words,Œ€Œ 'ItŒ€Œ hasŒ€Œ doneŒ€Œ meŒ€Œ goodŒ€Œ andŒ€Œ IŒ€Œ thinkŒ€Œ willŒ€Œ doŒ€Œ goodŒ€Œ toŒ€Œ others.'
This edition contains ten additional sermons not included in the 1975 Banner of Truth edition, which are appended to volume 2.
