TWO CORONATION SERMONS.

[To THZ EDITOR or THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—W ill you give me a little space to record two coronation sermons- by the same preacher, which beat the record of the two peace sermons (after Trafalgar and Sevastopol) mentioned in the Spectator of May 18th? The Rev. L. A. Norgate, rector of Foxley, and a Canon of Norwich Cathedral, preached on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837, and on the accession (or coronation, I ant not certain which) of our present King. Canon Norgate died last September, within three weeks of his ninety-third birthday, which was the 30th.
