Book Description
Excerpt from Lost Chapters Recovered From the Early History of American Methodism The old book sheds light upon that part of our history where all before was dark as a starless midnight. It is the first record of the trustees and stewards of the old J ohn-street Church. It is a model book, both on account of its neatness and exactness. They were very particular in those days to re cord everything, small and great. What a reproof to the care less manner in which many church records are now kept. The old book is the basis of the work entitled, Lost Chapters Recovered. We do not publish all that it con tains, but make extracts from year to year, from the first to the conclusion. This work is something more than a mere local history. It describes the early and great men of Methodism, in whom the great Methodist family have a common interest. To make the chapters as complete as possible, I have not only followed the old book, but availed myself of other material that enriches the volume. Does the reader inquire where this old book has been? I answer, I cannot tell, only it has been lost for over half a century, and very recently discovered. The oldest ministers now in new-york and the oldest trustees had never seen the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

His parents came to this country from Geneva in 1756, and, like many Huguenot families, settled in New Rochelle. Andrew, their son, was born there in 1763. The family removed to New-York City soon after his birth. His father left his family to visit New-Orleans, with a view of settling there. Whether he reached his place of destination is unknown, as he was never heard from after. His wife, a stranger in a foreign land, year after year looked for his return in vain; an impenetrable mystery is thrown over his end. Young Andrew was but a boy when the Revolutionary War commenced. At the age of sixteen he was pressed and put on board a British man-of-war lying in the Hudson River. Determined not to fight against his country, he seized an opportunity, one dark night, to escape. He stripped himself, and tying his clothes on his back, he dropped from the deck into the water, and began to swim for the shore. His escape was immediately discovered, and they fired several shots at him as he was swimming boldly for terra firma, but, most fortunately, none of them hit him, and with the greatest delight he reached the land in safety. Mr. Mercein was familiar with the stirring and trying scenes of the Revolutionary "War. He was an apprentice to a baker who made bread for the army. He stated that a part of the time during the war, there was a great scarcity of bread; that the Cork provision fleet overstayed their time, and he dealt...

Respectable Methodism

Book Description
The Wesleyan-Methodist movement entered American history as a fragment of British Methodism. It quickly took on a new identity in the early republic and grew into a vibrant denomination in the nineteenth century. The transitions from the rugged pioneer religion modeled by Bishop Francis Asbury to the urbane religion of industrial America was by design the goal of influential leaders of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Nathan Bangs was perhaps one of the most significant of such leaders. He rose from obscurity to the ranks of power and influence by refining patterns of worship, expanding denominational publishing, and structuring ministerial education. This study is concerned with the development of respectability in American Methodism. It also explores questions on how Bangs and other leaders dealt with in-house conflicts on issues related to race, slavery, and the poor.
