His insight into the principles of spiritual life was unrivalled. His sermons showed the way to spiritual freedom and were a source of inspiration to many. He suffered much from the opposition aroused by his sympathy with the revolutionary ideas of 1848. His works include five vols. of Sermons, and two vols. of lectures.
