Excerpt from The Oxford Methodists: Memoirs of the Rev. Messrs. Clayton, Ingham, Gambold, Hervey and Broughton, With Biographical Notices of OthersThe 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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
