Wesley and Methodism

Excerpt from Wesley and Methodism

What has been attempted in the present work? Certainly, not a full and particular biography of John Wesley. He, it is true, is the central figure, and it is hoped that sufficient heed has been given to his personal actions and qualities to ensure a distinct, a recognisable, and  ii only it might be vivid portrait of that king of men. But a full and particular biography would call for more pages than go to compose the entire work.
