""Sermons, On The Duties Of The Great"" is a collection of religious speeches delivered by Jean Baptiste Massillon in 1776. The book focuses on the responsibilities and duties of those in positions of power and influence, such as kings, nobles, and wealthy individuals. Massillon stresses the importance of humility, charity, and justice in the exercise of power, and warns against the dangers of pride and corruption. The sermons are written in a clear and persuasive style, and offer valuable insights into the moral and ethical challenges faced by leaders in Massillon's time, as well as in our own.
