“The poem is one series of beautiful and brilliant gems and profound thoughts, set in pure and ornate language.”—St. James’s Chronicle.
“The whole poem breathes the purest morality and the loftiest devotion. Going through it is like going through a cathedral, where, as the grand music rolls on the ear, the eye is almost everywhere enchanted with visions of unearthly interest and scriptural beauty, breaking in richest colour from its storied windows, while the soul is touched and stirred with the deepest emotions of religion. Mr. Moon’s poem is a great work.”—Church and School Gazette.
“A work that will stand in a high place among the specimens of modern English classical literature.”—Court Circular.

“This is a valuable work ... the most valuable manual we have on the subject.”—Christian Remembrancer.
“Mr. Moore has succeeded in advancing many principles and suggestions by which success (in preaching) may be obtained. A work of the kind was wanted.... The various topics included in the idea of a good sermon are fully discussed, and many admirable hints are furnished on the parts and arrangements of a sermon,—on style in relation to preaching,—the delivery of a sermon, on extempore preaching, &c.”—Journal of Sacred Literature.
“So far as we are aware the present will be found to be the most exhaustive treatise upon the subject that exists. Mr. Moore writes in a tone of excellent common sense. Its perusal is almost a duty for the clergy, and will not be without interest for the laity.”—Literary Gazette.
