Chiefly Written by Themselves. In Six Volumes. This edition contains Volumes One and Two. A compilation of biographies of eminent Methodist preachers. These men were trained in the belief and practice of the strictest churchmanship; so that they would have thought it a sin to deviate from the rubric, to conduct public worship in an unconsecrated place, or to countenance the ministrations of a man on whose head the hands of a prelate had never been laid. Yet these very men were so controlled by the providence and grace of God, as to be a means of introducing, and that upon an extensive scale, a freedom of religious action, such as had scarcely been witnessed in any country since the apostolic age. Contents of Volume One: Journal of John Nelson; Life of Christopher Hopper; Life of Thomas Mitchell; Life of Peter Jaco; and Life of John Haime. Contents of Volume Two: Life of Joseph Cownley; Life of Thomas Olivers; Life of Duncan Wright; Life of Thomas Hanby; Life of Alexander Mather; Life of William Hunter; Life of Robert Roberts; Life of Thomas Payne; and Life of Richard Rodda.
