This collection is made up of 11 sermons by Rev. Eli Smith, a Congregational minister at Hollis, New Hampshire. Ministering from the King James Bible, Rev. Smith spoke largely about aspects of character and human relationships, such as love, hatred, obedience, sin, forgiveness, death, God's love, God's hate, pride, and judgement. He was also concerned about vanity, non-temporal activity on the Sabbath (such as extra sleep and mail delivery), and the impact of poor work ethic on the "national character" of the United States. In September 1813 (the month of Oliver Hazard Perry's fleet's success at the Battle of Lake Erie), Rev. Smith opined from Jeremiah 18:7, with special attention to the good or evil nature of offensive war. The sermons were drawn on 2 Peter 3:9, Joshua 22:24, Revelation 3:2, 2 Peter 3:15, 1 Corinthians 10:16, Jeremiah 18:7-8, Leviticus 20:8, Isaiah 53:4, Romans 7:12, and Malachi 4:1.
