Of the first volume the Advance, of Chicago, said:—
“The volume is a handsome one, and is prefaced with the best portrait of Mr. Beecher we have ever seen. The sermons are twenty-seven in number, the regular Sunday morning discourses of six months, and are a wonderful testimony, not only to the real goodness of heart of the great Plymouth preacher, but to the fertility of resource, industry of thought, and rare ability which can keep his regular ministrations to such a height of average excellence.”
... “These corrected sermons of perhaps the greatest of living preachers,—a man whose heart is as warm and catholic as his abilities are great, and whose sermons combine fidelity and Scriptural truth, great power, glorious imagination, fervid rhetoric, and vigorous reasoning, with intense human sympathy and robust common sense.”—British Quarterly Review.
Each succeeding volume contains, also, six months’ sermons (from 450 to 500 pp.) issued in style uniform with the First Series. The Second Series contains a fine interior view of Plymouth Church. The other volumes are not illustrated.

“J. B. Ford & Co., who are now printers and publishers to the Beecher family, have collected in a handsome volume the Lecture-Room Talks of the Brooklyn preacher, held in the weekly prayer-meeting of the Plymouth Church. There is a great deal of humorous talk mingled with much that is serious, and the subjects discussed are of the most varied kind. It is a charming book.”—Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
