Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Oxford Methodists: Memoirs of the Rev. Messrs. Clayton, Ingham, Gambold, Hervey and Broughton, With Biographical Notices of Others
The present book is intended to serve as a companion volume to The Life and Times of Wesley; and to assist in show ing the wide and gracious results of a revival of religion. In compiling the work just mentioned, I was compelled, by want of space, to lay aside a large amount of biographical material, some portions of which are embodied in the work now submitted to the reader; and other portions of which may be published at a future time. Memoirs of the two Wesleys and of Whitefield have been designedly omitted, on the ground, that, their Memoirs, z'zz aria/150, are already in existence. Still, those illustrious men are often noticed in the following pages; and, I hope, the facts concerning them will be both interesting and instructive. Of the other Oxford Methodists, no biographies have been previously written, with the exception of Hervey; and it is not censorious to say, that the two principal ones of him, Ryland's and Brown's - are far from satisfactory.
