I have heard that Dr. Ponderby's grandfather, who was a chaplain to William iv., was famous for his sermons to the young. They were delivered twice a year, and attended by half of fashionable London. His form of... address was, * My young brethren.* It is said that Dr. Ponderby models his own discourses on his grandfather's.
