Excerpt from Sermons and Fragments Attributed to Isaac Barrow, D.D., Formerly Master of Trinity College, Cambridge: To Which Are Added, Two Dissertation, on the Duration of Future Punishments, and on Dissenters

OF the following Sermons, the four first, and the two Dissertations at the end of the volume, are now for the first time printed, from manuscripts in the Library of Trinity College, Cambridge: the remaining Sermons are from a ms. In the Public Library of the same University.

In the Library of Trinity College are preserved fourteen volumes of mss. Assigned to Barrow. They contain most of the Sermons published by Archbishop Tillotson, and are evidently the copies used by the printer. Several of the Sermons, and in particular parts of the Treatise on the Papal Supremacy, are in various states, successively from the first rough draught to the finished copy and, with numerous pages of extracts from many different Greek and Latin authors, bear most honourable testimony to the diligence and research of their great author.
