NOEL (Gerard Thomas): - Sermons chiefly intended for the Use of Families.

London: John Hatchard and Son..., 1826. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, 214 x 128 mms., pp. xii, 403 [404 blank], attractively bound in full green morocco, gilt spine, red leather label; some slight wear to binding but a very good copy. Gerard Thomas Noel (1782–1851) was well connected through his family, his mother, Diana Middleton, having increased the family fortunes. Like his younger and more famous brother, Baptist Wriothesley Noel, he was largely evangelical. His most famous work, A Brief Enquiry into the Prospects of the Church of Christ (1828) was an anxious evaluation of the liberal and secular trends in the Church of England. He eventually added to this volume to produce Fifty Sermons for the Use of Families (1826 - 1827) in two volumes. The sermons, however, seem to have been only briefly popular for a short period, as they seem not to have been republished after 1830. OCLC locates copies of this volume in Cambridge, Aberdeen, Glasgow; Illinois, United Library Illinois.
