John Wesley and the Evangelical Reaction of the Eighteenth Century. E-book. Formato PDF Julia Wedgwood   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

The form in which it was originally designed that the following pages should appear, was one which ex cluded a frequent reference to authorities. The writer has endeavoured to remedy this defect by embodying them in the text, wherever this was practicable, and by the appended list of the principal books consulted. It will be obvious to an attentive reader that it was hardly possible to indicate all the sources of the impressions recorded in these pages, but few of any importance, it is believed, fail to bear with them the means of their own verification. I cannot include in this list the work of the Rev. Thomas Jackson — by far the most interesting Metho dist biography of the Wesleys — without a brief allu sion to an interview with this venerable man, from which I derived a sense of the vitality of the system of religion represented by him, which the following record, being wholly occupied with the past, could not attempt to embody.

The present volume was the chief occupation of its author during the last four or five years of her long life. Miss Wedgwood had long desired to make more familiar the life of her great-grandfather, and at the same time to put on record many early memories of the two ensuing generations which would otherwise have vanished at her death. The correspondence of Josiah Wedgwood with his friend and partner Bentley, which occupies many volumes in the Wedgwood Museum at Etruria, offered a rich fund of information about his personal as well as about his business life which none of Wedgwood's biographers - not even the laborious and talented Miss Meteyard, whose work, moreover, has long been out of print - had fully utilised. Before Miss Wedgwood's death in November 1913 the book had made substantial advances towards completeness.
