Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpses of Early Methodism in York and the Surrounding District Nearly one hundred and fifty years have passed away since Methodism found an entrance into the city of York by the very means which its enemies employed to destroy it. Its early struggles and successes, and those who took part in them, are with a few exceptions forgotten, and some remain only as indistinct echoes of the past. The design of the following pages is to collect such facts as are available in a permanent form, and in carrying out this object the writer has endeavoured to produce a volume which while possessing a special local value may be generally interesting and useful. How far he has succeeded the reader will judge. Besides the sources of information indicated in the foot-notes, and a valuable collection of documents and correspondence in his own possession, the writer has been favoured with the inspection of other ms. And original letters; for the use of which he has to thank the Rev. Benjamin Hellier, the governor of Headingley College, and also Messrs Luke Thompson, John F rancis Taylor, Ald. Agar, and George Stamp, of Grimsby. His thanks are also due to Mr. William Monkhouse, and Mr. William Eskett for the photographs and drawings from which the illustra tions of this work have been copied.
