    Library of Congress Personal narrative of a tour through a part of the United States and Canada Painted by W. Gush. Engd. by F.E. Jones. REV. JAMES DIXON D.D. President of the Conference PERSONAL NARRATIVE OF A TOUR THROUGH A PART OF THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA: WITH NOTICES OF THE HISTORY AND INSTITUTIONS OF METHODISM IN AMERICA. BY JAMES DIXON, D. D. LC LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CITY OF WASHINGTON NEW-YORK: PUBLISHED BY LANE & SCOTT, 200 Mulberry-street. JOSEPH LONGKING, PRINTER. 1849. F.S R. E 166 II 6 4 ADVERTISEMENT TO THE AMERICAN EDITION. It has not been thought necessary, in reprinting this work, to retain all of Dr. Dixon's quotations from American authorities, in his sketch of the History and Institutions of American Methodism. These can be found much more fully set forth in works easily accessible in this country. Part V. of Dr. Dixon's work, relating to the “Measures adopted by the Methodist Episcopal Church on the Subject of Slavery,” has been entirely omitted. It consists almost wholly of American documents. Personal narrative of a tour through a part of the United States and Canada http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbtn.02988 Library of Congress A few errors, in the use of names, dates, &c., have been silently corrected. Others, of less importance, have been suffered to remain. As a whole, it is only remarkable that Dr. Dixon should, in so short a time, have acquired so just and accurate a knowledge of the topography and geography of the country, as well as of the character and habits of our people.

  • United Methodist Bishops Ordination Chain 1784 - 2012
    United Methodist Bishops Ordination Chain 1784 - 2012 General Commission on Archives and History Madison, New Jersey 2012 UNITED METHODIST BISHOPS in order of Election This is a list of all the persons who have been consecrated to the office of bishop in The United Methodist Church and its predecessor bodies (Methodist Episcopal Church; Methodist Protestant Church; Methodist Episcopal Church, South; Church of the United Brethren in Christ; Evangelical Association; United Evangelical Church; Evangelical Church; The Methodist Church; Evangelical United Brethren Church, and The United Methodist Church). The list is arranged by date of election. The first column gives the date of election; the second column gives the name of the bishop. The third column gives the name of the person or organization who ordained the bishop. The list, therefore, enables clergy to trace the episcopal chain of ordination back to Wesley, Asbury, or another person or church body. We regret that presently there are a few gaps in the ordination information, especially for United Methodist Central Conferences. However, the missing information will be provided as soon as it is available. This list was compiled by C. Faith Richardson and Robert D. Simpson .
