Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Rev. John Wesley, A. M: Sometime Fellow of Lincoln College, Oxford, Founder of the Methodist Societies Various Lives or Memoirs of the Founder of Methodism have already been laid before the public. But it has been frequently remarked that such of these as contain the most approved accounts of Mr. Wesley , have been carried our to a length which obstructs their circulation, by the intermixture of details comparatively uninteresting beyond the immediate circle of Wesleyan Methodism. The present Life, therefore, without any design to supersedo larger publications, has been prepared with more special reference to general readers. But, as it is contracted within moderate limits chiefly by the exclusion comprehensive to give the reader an adequate view of the life, labours and opinions of the eminent individual who is is its subject; and to afford the means of correcting the most material errors and misrepresentations which have had currency respecting him. On several points the author has had the advantage of consulting unpublished papers, not known to preceding biographers, and which have enabled him to place some particulars in a more satisfactory light. London, May 10, 1831. Advertisement To This Edition. In this edition, translations are given of such passages in the dead languages as are left untranslated in the London edition. It is enlarged, too, and we hope enriched, by a variety of notes, on points of peculiar importance in an American edition. The price, nevertheless, is so extremely low as to be justified solely by the confident anticipation of very extensive sales. The profits, if any, (as of all other publications from the Methodist Episcopal Press,) will be scrupulously applied to the spread of the Gospel, and to strictly charitable objects.
