Brodbelt (fl. 1796 - 1800) published some sermons and seems to have been active in the Missionary Society. The rhetoric of these sermons is certainly cast in the missionary mould. He notes in the Preface that he has been in the ministry thirteen years, and pointedly concludes by saying "The book was not intended to be embellished with quotations from the works of other men, therefore few such occur. The Essays are, in general, what the title-page declares them to be, Original." Approximately 400 people subscribed for the work. ESTC on-line locates three copies: L, Lmh; KU-S.
