E. H. Lecky's 'History of England in the Eighteenth Century, ' to Mr. Leslie Stephen's 'History of English Thought in the Eighteenth Century, ' to Abbey and Overton's 'English Church in the Eighteenth Century, ' to Sir James Stephen's 'Essays on Ecclesiastical Biography, ' to Bishop Ryle's 'Christian Leaders in the Last Century, ' and to the many lives of, and essays about, John Wesley, which it would be impossible to enumerate, and invidious to select from, in this short Preface.
