In Fuller’s words

“This is a reprint of a London work, although it does not so appear on the title page. We have lately read it in connection with another very interesting book, Clarke’s “Memoirs of the Wesley Family,” and have been led to far deeper interest in this great stream of religious thought and feeling, by a nearer approach to its fountain-head.”
