Excerpt from The Bible in the Counting-House: A Course of Lectures to Merchants

Merchants have had too little help from the Pulpit. They have been left, very much, to frame their own ethics, and to grapple, as they might, with the temptations and trials of business. There is no lack of sermons and books on the vices of great cities. Able treatises on the formation of character, enter largely into the conservative literature of the age. But an adequate Hand-book on the moralities of Commerce, is yet to be supplied. The present volume does not aspire to this elevated function: it is merely an humble essay in that direction.
