About This Item
Bath: Printed and Sold by M. Gye..., 1808. FIRST EDITION. Large 8vo, pp. xxi [xxii blank, xxiii engraved dedication, xxiv blank], 478 [479 adverts, 480 blank], including half-title and errata leaf, uncut, contemporary boards, paper label on spine; corners and edges a bit worn, but a very good copy, with the (probably contemporary) notation "Oakridge Wesleyan Sunday School Library" on the recto of the front free end-paper. Winter (1741 or 1742 - 1808) served both as Congregationalist minister and factotum to John Wesley and George Whitefield. Having been inspired by Wesley's preaching, he followed Wesley to Savannah, Georgia, where they hoped to convert the Indians and the black slaves. The present work is not so much a biography as a compendium of Winter's letters, with commentary and supplementary information from Jay, (1769-1853), the Congregational minister, who was the pastor of Argyle Chapel at Bath, and remained there for sixty-two years.
