Book Description
Excerpt from Lost Chapters Recovered From the Early History of American Methodism The old book sheds light upon that part of our history where all before was dark as a starless midnight. It is the first record of the trustees and stewards of the old J ohn-street Church. It is a model book, both on account of its neatness and exactness. They were very particular in those days to re cord everything, small and great. What a reproof to the care less manner in which many church records are now kept. The old book is the basis of the work entitled, Lost Chapters Recovered. We do not publish all that it con tains, but make extracts from year to year, from the first to the conclusion. This work is something more than a mere local history. It describes the early and great men of Methodism, in whom the great Methodist family have a common interest. To make the chapters as complete as possible, I have not only followed the old book, but availed myself of other material that enriches the volume. Does the reader inquire where this old book has been? I answer, I cannot tell, only it has been lost for over half a century, and very recently discovered. The oldest ministers now in new-york and the oldest trustees had never seen the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Origin of the Free Methodist Church But, though Methodism has changed its home, it has in no wise changed either its character or its mode of Opera tion. And hence, as it fled to the Free Methodists to escape the trammels of worldly associations, a time-serving policy, and the soul-sickening routine of a lifeless formal ism it could no longer endure; so will it in like manner abandon them, should the contingency ever arise, when it is no longer permitted to operate through their instru mentality in accordance with its own peculiar principles and purposes.

Book Description
Excerpt from Reminiscences of Early Methodism in Indiana: Including Sketches of Various Prominent Ministers, Together With Narratives of Women Eminent for Piety, Poetry and Song The heroic age of the Methodist Episcopal Church is not ended. The fire still glows on her altars; zeal still flames in her heart. The men who traveled the primeval forests of the West by blazed trees, forded or swam, as occasion required, the numerous and unbridged streams, who often slept under the friendly woods, faring hard and working harder - these heroes of a rough time were the fathers of noble sons. If the sires were heroic, their children are not cowardly. If the fathers laid the foundations, their sons rear the superstructure. The sublime purpose which inaugurated the Methodistic movement still pushes the conquering march of her sacramental host. Her theology maintains its integrity; her worship retains its simplicity; her methods are more direct and efficient than those of any other church; her book of discipline makes no concession to popular sin. She stands as unshaken and unaltered among the opinions and customs of these changeful times as Gibraltar in the midst of the changeful waters.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Round Preacher, or Reminiscences of Methodist Circuit Life It is with mingled feelings that the Second Edition of the Round Preacher is issued. The extensive sale which the work has commanded, is ample evidence that the subject is one of no slight importance. N otwith standing the many criticisms which have appeared upon it, (favourable and otherwise) it has not been deem ed advisable to make any material alterations, and for the best of all reasons, that facts, however clothed, are still facts, and cannot be overthrown. It is not by this intended to imply that the writer is nnw to profit by the suggestions and hints which have been thrown out, but as another work is in preparation which may cast additional light upon the present, he will reserve the main portion of his apology until then. Still it may be advisable to notice what he conceives to be the mistakes of those who are not conversant with the workings of modern Methodism. The peculiar tendencies and workings of the system have heretofore been calmly stated, and deliberately. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Records of Early Methodism in Bolton: A Paper Read at the Jubilee Tea Meeting in the Bolton South Circuit, on Thursday, November 19th, 1863 The personal connection between the Methodists of thelast century and those of the present is rapidly pass ing away. There are few who recollect the men and things of former times. The most favourable period for obtaining information has been suffered to escape, and along with it many interesting facts have passed into oblivion. The motive which has prompted this paper has been a desire to collect as far as possible reminiscences of the early days of Methodism, with reference to the society in Bolton. No person who is at all conversant with Mr. Wesley's journals need be told that this society was held by him in the highest esteem, and never mentioned except in terms of strong commendation. Here he often stayed and was refreshed, and his intercourse, as appears from his journals, and the records of the society's books, must have been of the most familiar and confiding char acter.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memorials of the Introduction of Methodism Into the Eastern States: Comprising Biographical Notices of Its Early Preachers, Sketches of Its First Churches, and Reminiscences of Its Early Struggles and Successes As many important facts in the work have been derived from original sources, and publications out of print, the author has chosen to let his authorities speak for themselves, to a consider able extent. And as he is the first who has written, largely, on the local history of Methodism in New England, he has given abundant marginal references, both to verify his statements and to aid further researches, Should they hereafter be undertaken. In a subsequent volume, he hopes to continue the narrative through periods of more varied and more interesting events.
