Excerpt from Short Sermons From a Layman's Legacy The twelve Sermons by the late Samuel Greg contained in this volume are taken from the second edition of A Layman's Legacy, published in 1883 and now out of print. The sermons were delivered to a small congregation in Macclesfield, chiefly composed of working men, during the years 1864 to 1874. Personal friends, and others who had been attracted by the sincere and tender Christian piety of the author, urged the desirability of issuing a selection of these discourses in a form and at a price which would ensure a wider circulation than was possible for the larger work. Samuel Greg was born September 6th, 1804, and died after a prolonged illness, May 14th, 1876. He was the elder brother of William Rathbone Greg, the author of The Creed of Christendom, and other well-known works. After a careful education at Nottingham and Bristol, he commenced business as a mill-owner, but ill-health, and disappointments and worries in the cotton trade, soon led to his retirement. His illness began in 1847 and lasted, with only occasional intervals free from pain, until his death. After his withdrawal from business, he occupied himself with various schemes for the elevation of the labouring classes, in preparing occasional lectures for working-men, writing short poems, and in correspondence with many loved friends. In 1854 he published, for the use of Sunday schools, a delightful volume entitled Scenes from the Life of Jesus, also out of print.
