Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from A Compendious History of American Methodism: Abridged From the Author´s History of the Methodist Episcopal Church The Book Concern has for some years been spending liberally to provide the Church with a Standard History of Methodism. It issued first a History of General Methodism in three volumes, giving an account of the denomination in all parts of the world, centralizing in the Wesleyan, or parent body, a work which has been reproduced by four or five competing publishers in England; second, a particular History of the Methodist Episcopal Church in four volumes - the fourth volume just out. These works have received the strongest indorsements not only by Methodists, but other authorities on both sides of the Atlantic. They meet a great want of the Church, and a demand of the general religious public. The author employed by the Concern to prepare them - Dr. Abel Stevens - has devoted his utmost power to them, and has, by thorough research, added more than one third to the data of our history, as given by preceding writers. These works are now a staple part of the property of the Church´s own Publishing House: they have cost it much, and will yield much to its interest if properly patronized. There are many of our people, however, who cannot spare the means for works as large as these. It has been our design from the beginning, therefore, to present them in cheaper form, that the whole Church may be supplied with them. When propositions were made by other parties to our author (with the most liberal offers of compensation) to prepare a smaller work for more popular circulation, he promptly declined them on the ground that it would be an indirect interference with the Book Concern´s right of property in the work, and contrary to the understood rules of the trade in such cases, especially as the Concern designed in due time to issue an abridgment.
