But the posthumous fame of Saurin rests upon his Sermons. Of these he himself published (1707-25) five volumes. After his death, his son edited, from his papers, seven additional volumes. The whole twelve volumes have been several times reissued. The best edition is that of the Hague, in' 1749; the most recent is that of Paris, in 1835. A good selection was pub- lished by Weiss, at Paris, in 1854, Sermons Choisis de Saurin, avec line Notice sur sa Vie. Most of these ser- mons have enjoj-ed great popularity in other languages. Five volumes of the Sermons were published in English by R. Pobinson, in 1775. As to the form of Saurin's sermons, they are too systematic and scholastic for the taste of the present; they are encumbered with too much of learned citation. Much that they contain would be more appropriate in the professor's chair than in the pulpit. As compared witli the great Catholic sermon- izers, Saurin lacks the exquisite polish of Bossuet; nor does he search the secret recesses of the heart with as sharp an eye as Bourdaloue; nor are his appeals as pathetic as those of Massillon ; but he surpasses them all in tliis, that lie preaches the whole (Jospel of Clirist, and that he is unconscious of dependence on any other external authority than the simple Word of God. In
manner, Saurin was impetuous in the extreme; greater self-control would have given him greater power. He sometimes spent so much force of voice in his opening prayer and exordium as to be very much exhausted be- fore the close. Sometimes his voice would almost fail. The chief defect in his manner was a certain lack of unction. The understanding was convinced, the con- science was awakened, the will was aroused, but the heart was not fully subdued. After Saurin's death, liis great work, IJisccurs (2 vols, fob), was continued bj' lioques and Beausobre, so that the whole consisted of six volumes.
