Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of the Rev. John Wesley, Vol. 1: In Ten Volumes The opening Number of the present volume to some extent disregards the dividing lines of the first and subsequent editions. It includes the greater portion of the original Part II and a few pages of Part III. Wesley´s evangelical conversion was the necessary sequel to vol. i. of the Standard Edition, and for obvious reasons it is now desirable to begin and complete in one Number the narrative of his visit to the Moravian Church. No Diary fills the interspaces of the Journal during the five months occupied by this visit. One of the little notebooks has been destroyed or lost. A similar fate has befallen most of the letters Wesley wrote during his tour in Holland and Germany. To Dr. Tasker of Handsworth College, and more especially to Dr. Loofs of Halle, the story of Wesley´s intercourse with the Moravian Brethren in Marienborn and Herrnhut is under obligation. The spelling of names, both of persons and places, in the First Edition was determined to some extent by Wesley´s habit of writing names as he heard them pronounced. In correcting errors absolute consistency has not always been possible. We have, however, striven to make both text and notes in this, as in other respects, helpful to students and travellers. Wesley´s quotations were from memory, and not always severely accurate. Some of the inaccuracies, however, appear to have been slight alterations not affecting the sense, but adapting it to the purpose in hand. Thomas Jackson, who edited the ´Third Edition,´ had Wesley´s copy of the text, with marginal corrections, to assist him. In some instances these authorized emendations can be traced, but not always. For the translation of classical quotations Mr. C. Lawrence Ford´s ´Examinations of Quotations in Wesley´s Journal´ in the ´Proceedings of the Wesley Historical Society´ has been followed.
