Book Description
Excerpt from A Biographical History of the Wesley Family: More Particularly Its Earlier Branches The eventful and important Life of the venerable Founder of Arminian Methodism has been frequently laid before the Public; but there is reason to believe that the history of his Paternal and Maternal Ancestors is only partially known, even amongst the members of the Methodist Society. The late Dr. Adam Clarke, published in 1822, "Memoirs of the Wesley Family" in a large octavo volume, but which, on account of the introduction of a vast quantity of extraneous and unnecessary matter, is not well adapted for general circulation. The Price also prevented many from purchasing it. On these grounds the Compiler of the following Work is of opinion, that a condensed, and well arranged Memoir of the Wesley Family, at a moderate price, and written "with special reference to general readers," was still wanting.
