ENDNOTES
1 Whitehead's "Life of the Wesleys," genuine edition, in distinction from a fraudulent one issued
shortly after the author's death, by Coke and Moore and emasculated by them. A reprint of the
genuine was issued by W. S. Stockton in Philadelphia, Pa., 1845, large 8vo, 548 pp., cloth, two
volumes bound in one, treating of Charles and John Wesley respectively, Whitehead being the
literary executor of both brothers. This edition was embellished with steel-plate portraits of the
brothers, and an introduction defensive of the author by Rev. T. H. Stockton, from the traducements
of his enemies. Another edition of the genuine had been issued a few years earlier in Boston, Mass.
2 Dr. Adam Clarke's "Memoirs of the Wesley Family," reprint from the English edition, by Bangs
and Mason, New York, 1824. One large octavo, and exhaustive of the family genealogy, etc.
3 Jackson's "Life of Charles Wesley," English edition, never reprinted in America, is an exception,
as it is quite full but not so impartial as Whitehead's.
4 John Wesley's "Calm Address to the Inhabitants of England," in the year 1777, London, printed
*
at the Conference office, 1812, pamphlet, 16 pp. On page 3 he says: "In the year 1737, my brother
took ship in order to return from Georgia to England. But a violent storm drove him up to New
England; and he was for some time detained at Boston. Even then he was surprised to hear the most
serious people, and men of consequence, almost continually crying out, 'We must be independent;
we shall never be well until we shake off the English yoke.' Thus early the American 'rebellion'
began."
*He reached England December 3, 1736 (Whitehead, p.97).
