Th e church generally has been stirred, and many who have hitherto lived in a state of careless unbelief have been converted to the Christian religion. Unlike many religious revivals, this one has been attended with comparatively little excitement. The volume before us contains a collection rf sermons which have been preached in this city and Brooklyn during the progress of the revival, bv some of the ablest divines in the various churches, sudb as Drs. A. D. Smith, Alexander, Burchard, Lathrop, Adams, Cutler, Peck, Profc Hitchcock, Rev. Mr. Cuyler, and others well known. It is a volume of interest and can be profitably read by all.

It’s Time to Stand Up for Science

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.

I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.

If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.

In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.

There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.

Thank you,

David M. Ewalt, Editor in Chief, Scientific American
