FROM THE START OF THE DENOMINATION TO THE CLOSE OF THE YEAR 1850. REV. JOSEPH EVANS, DENBIGH. CARNARVON : D. O'Brien Owen, C. M. Book Agency. 1907. So- THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY 736565 ASTOR, LENOX AND TILDE.N FOUNDATIONS R 1916 L PREFACE. The material of this volume has been gathered together and placed in order by the writer from the interest he has taken in Welsh Calvinistic Methodism and its Ministers from his child hood. His earliest recollections are interwoven with Methodist history. The home of his parents was always' open to the public servants of the Lord who came to Brecon on their preach ing itinerancies in connection with this section of His vine yard, and thus Calvinistic Methodism became a fascination to him early in life. His recollection is fairly vivid of many of the ministers who preached at the Struet Chapel, Brecon, about the year 1837 anc* onward, especially of those who were members of the Breconshire Monthly Meeting, such as Watkin Edward, William Havard, Thomas Elias, Evan Harries, Job Thomas, David Davies, Trecastle, and John Griffiths, who afterwards became a Clergyman, and lived for some years near Ponty pridd. He is one of the few still living who were present at the opening of Trevecca College, and remembers well many in cidents in connection therewith. It occurred to the writer some time since that a volume such as this, would be interesting to many, and would serve to keep in remembrance the names of some worthy men who had served their Master and Methodism well, but who would other wise be forgotten, and are indeed already little known. His chief regret is that so many of the preachers have passed away with little or nothing more than their names recorded. Doubtless several are omitted from this work who should have been included, and possibly more definite information might be given of others than the writer has been able to supply. Where so many individuals are involved, it is more than pos sible, even extremely probable, that notwithstanding every care, many errors have crept in. Th writer will be grateful for any information that may be forwarded him. The book is not sent forth as a work of original research, as the Bibliography supplied will clearly testify. It is the writer's intention, if his life is spared, to bring the work up to date, and as the material required is considerably more accessible than was the case with this volume, he hopes to accomplish the work without very much delay. Should it be the Master's will to summon him home, ere it be completed, he hopes that it will be taken in hand at once by some one else, so that a record may be preserved and placed together of those who have engaged in the work of the ministry in connection with our beloved Denomination, and a brief sketch of their career delineated. There are many no doubt who would prefer were this work written in Welsh, but for many years the writer's associations have been chiefly in the English sphere of Calvinistic Method ism. For considerably more than forty years he has been privileged with the opportunity of working in the main in this section of our denominational field : and one of his chief joys is to observe the position it now holds as compared with what it was in the fifties and early sixties of the last century. From his heart he can exclaim with wonder and thankfulness — "What hath God wrought!" And he is deeply convinced that it is absolutely necessary for this section of the Denomina tion to be encouraged and helped in every way possible, or the Denomination itself will soon be crippled, especially in those districts where the English language is making rapid headway. Would that this work were more complete and worthier, but such as it is, it is with much diffidence sent forth and com mended to the sympathy and appreciation of the circle for which it has been specially designed.

These included a projected Topography of England, a fifty volume work the noted scholar William Lily, where he enjoyed the patronage of a certain Thomas on the Antiquities and Civil History of Britain, a six volume Survey of the islands Myles.

  • The Wesleyan Enlightenment
    The Wesleyan Enlightenment: Closing the gap between heart religion and reason in Eighteenth Century England by Timothy Wayne Holgerson B.M.E., Oral Roberts University, 1984 M.M.E., Wichita State University, 1986 M.A., Asbury Theological Seminary, 1999 M.A., Kansas State University, 2011 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2017 Abstract John Wesley (1703-1791) was an Anglican priest who became the leader of Wesleyan Methodism, a renewal movement within the Church of England that began in the late 1730s. Although Wesley was not isolated from his enlightened age, historians of the Enlightenment and theologians of John Wesley have only recently begun to consider Wesley in the historical context of the Enlightenment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between a man, John Wesley, and an intellectual movement, the Enlightenment. As a comparative history, this study will analyze the juxtaposition of two historiographies, Wesley studies and Enlightenment studies. Surprisingly, Wesley scholars did not study John Wesley as an important theologian until the mid-1960s. Moreover, because social historians in the 1970s began to explore the unique ways people experienced the Enlightenment in different local, regional and national contexts, the plausibility of an English Enlightenment emerged for the first time in the early 1980s. As a result, in the late 1980s, scholars began to integrate the study of John Wesley and the Enlightenment. In other words, historians and theologians began to consider Wesley as a serious thinker in the context of an English Enlightenment that was not hostile to Christianity.

OF THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH PROFESSOR OF CELTIC PRINCIPAL OF JESUS COLLEGE, OXFORD VOLUME II OXFORD CLARENDON PRESS 1901 Page 1 Chapter VII TRIUMPHS OF THE WATER-WORLD Une des légendes les plus répandues en Bretagne est celle d’une prétendue ville d’ls, qui, à une époque inconnue, aurait été engloutie par la mer. On montre, à divers endroits de la côte, l’emplacement de cette cité fabuleuse, et les pecheurs vous en font d’étranges récits. Les jours de tempéte, assurent-ils, on voit, dans les creux des vagues, le sommet des fléches de ses églises; les jours de calme, on entend monter de l’abime Ie son de ses cloches, modulant l’hymne du jour.—RENAN. MORE than once in the last chapter was the subject of submersions and cataclysms brought before the reader, and it may be convenient to enumerate here the most remarkable cases, and to add one or two to their number, as well as to dwell at some- what greater length on some instances which may be said to have found their way into Welsh literature. He has already been told of the outburst of the Glasfryn Lake and Ffynnon Gywer, of Llyn Llech Owen and the Crymlyn, also of the drowning of Cantre’r Gwaelod; not to mention that one of my informants had something to say of the sub- mergence of Caer Arianrhod, a rock now visible only at low water between Celynnog Fawr and Dinas Dintte, on the coast of Arfon.
