TK Tg janis OHN WESLEY was born on hae 17th, 1703 at ae Pteckotige pe died in his 89th year on March 2nd, 1791. During the' course of his
long and active life he covered almost a quarter of a million miles in Baclanck Scotland, Wales and Ireland by horse. This by far made him the eas traveller in his day within the British Isles.
However, this book is not just about John Wesley and his travels but also a vivid picture of, England during the Georgian era, enhanced by over 250 wood cuts, wood and steel engravings from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries as well as sixteen plates and many coats of arms of important places. The layout and treatment of script gives the book a natural period flavour.
John Wesley's journals have been called 'the most amazing record of human sera ever penned by man', and great pleasure will be given to the reader
in observing Wesley's reflections on society in the many cities, towns and villages he visited. The treatment in this book is geographical with each section chronologically arranged, e.g. his seven visits to Bristol recorded here
'span a period of nearly fifty years, giving to us an eyewitness account of changing England among all classes of people.
- Another interesting feature of his journal is the quotations, descriptions and meetings between John Wesley and famous people of his time; to name but a fewDr Samuel Johnson, George Whitfield, William Wilberforce,
Dr Benjamin Franklin, William Pitt, Thomas Gray.
3% We also have at the beginning of each section in this book a brief but
JOHN WESLEY
illuminating historical background to over 200cities, towns and villages which er:
is especially helpful as a backcloth in appreciating John Wesley's England.
