About this ebook
"Some Remains ..." is the publication of a sermon written by Joseph Butler, LL.D, sometime the Lord Bishop of Durham. Dr. Butler speaks on the subject that afflictions in life can serve to better a man, and therefore hope rather than despair ought to result from life's troubles. The sermon was made famous when the then King George II, upon the death of his wife the queen, requested that Dr. Butler, Clerk of the Closet to the late Queen, might preach before him in the Princess Amelia's apartments. He preached upon the subject of being bettered by afflictions, which affected His Majesty so much that he desired a copy of the sermon, and assured him that he would do something very good for him.
