He and his brother Charles not only founded Methodism but their influence and preaching invigorated religious fervor and community within 18th Century England. Theirs was a return to passionate and spiritually focused practices at a time when the established Church of England had become somewhat stagnant and detached from its congregation's concerns. This well-researched and detailed telling of John Wesley's life, his struggles, and eventual triumphant spiritual awakening will be fascinating to anyone interested in the history of religious movements or the power of faith and dedication.

Embellished with 24 woodcuts (depicting Bedouins, Natives of Kamtschatka, Corea, China, Otaheite, Esquimaux, etc.). Ilustrador. Second Edition. A rare early 19th-century ethnographic work in two compact volumes, Picturesque Travels presents a panoramic introduction to the worldâs peoples for a British/Scottish audience during the height of the Romantic fascination with global exploration. Published in Edinburgh by Oliver & Boyd, this second edition is âembellished with twenty-four wood cutsâ showing peoples from Asia, Africa, the Pacific, and the Americas, including the Bedouins, Kamtschatkans, Koreans, Chinese, Otaheitans (Tahiti), and the Esquimaux (Inuit). Each short section combines descriptive geography with anecdotal accounts of dress, manners, and customs â" material derived from travel literature of the 18th century (Cook, Anson, Russian and missionary reports) and adapted for youthful or popular audiences. The woodcuts provide a striking window into how early 19th-century Europeans imagined and stereotyped global âothers,â making the work of enduring value to collectors of early ethnography, colonial studies, missionary history, and childrenâs literature. Context & Significance: Publisher: Oliver & Boyd was one of Edinburghâs leading publishers of juvenile and educational works, often disseminating travel narratives and âimprovingâ literature aimed at young readers. Colonial & Imperial Context: The volume reflects Britainâs imperial reach and the curiosity (often couched in stereotypes) about non-European peoples. Its descriptions of Kamtschatka, Corea (Korea), and Otaheite (Tahiti) are some of the earliest accessible depictions for general readers. Rarity: While travel narratives of the grand scale were common, illustrated juvenile ethnographic works survive far less frequently in complete sets, especially with all woodcuts present. Collecting Angle: Highly desirable for collections in ethnography, colonial/imperial studies, childrenâs literature, and the history of anthropology. This two-volume Edinburgh set exemplifies how British publishers popularized the expanding horizons of exploration and empire for a younger or popular audience. Illustrated with 24 woodcuts, it brings together anecdote, geography, and ethnography in a visually striking form. Scarce in the trade. Goodâ"Fair.
