Wesleyan Methodism Its Introduction Into Doncaster PDF Download

Excerpt from History of Wesleyan Methodism, Vol. 2 In presenting the second volume of the "History of Methodism" to the Connexion and the public, the Author does not feel called on to introduce it with any lengthened address. He is grateful for the nattering manner in which the first volume was received, and humbly hopes that this will be no less favoured. He deeply regrets having had to investigate the troubles and collisions which followed the death of Wesley: they were a part of the subject which could not be avoided, and he has not shrunk from his duty. In dealing with this difficult portion of his task, he has prosecuted the inquiry in all candour and honesty. He is conscious that he has not "set down aught in malice;" and if any sentiment, on form of expression, in these pages, is calculated to wound the feelings of any surviving friends of the pious dead, he will most sincerely regret it. But, whilst exercising every care of this sort, the Author felt bound to present a full exhibition of this part of Methodist history, and to give his judgment on it without reserve. Of the work generally he has little to say. In the narrative part, he has selected those facts which he thought adapted to show the working of the system; and he has paid special attention to those circumstances which stand more particularly connected with the public character, action, and progress of the body.
