Book Description

Excerpt from The Life and Ministry of the Rev. Samuel Walker: Formerly of Truro, Cornwall Religious Tract Society, with such hints and remains as they had been able to collect. The late venerable incumbent of Padstow, and his relative, the Rev. Mr. Rawlings, of Lansallos, sent me many manuscript sermons of Mr. Walker, from which I made the selections added to those on Brotherly Loire, origin ally appended to the Life. But most unexpectedly, since that volume came out, the obliging disposition of William Gray, Esq. Of York, whose judgment, piety, and enlightened Churchmanship have long been appreciated by a large circle of friends, induced him to ofi'er me, with the concurrence of the late Rev. W. Richardson, the use of the greater part of the important and valuable correspondence, which has supplied all that was wanting to make the biography of Mr. Walker complete. I have now, therefore, the opportunity of presenting to the public, without the Sermons, which I reserve for a collection of his Miscellaneous Works, a full account of this eminent Clergyman, both as regards his parochial administra tions, and his connection with the most distinguished revivalists of his day. I have also the satisfaction of supplying a chasm in the history of Methodism. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
