The second volume of letters in The Works of John Wesley, this
text spans the years 1740-1755.
"This is the second of the seven volumes devoted to Wesley's
correspondence. It presents details about more than a thousand
letters by three hundred persons, over four hundred being printed
fully, and over three hundred by means of brief quotations, or by
clues to their contents or purpose. Almost two-thirds of the
published letters are from Wesley's own pen. Most of the remainder
fill in the backround or outcome of his letters, though a number
have been selected for some other special significance. More than
one-fifth of the letters by Wesley are not available in Telford's
edition. The great bulk of the letters as a whole are presented in
a carefully verified text (often for the first time) from the
original holographs or other primary sources. Footnotes to all
Wesley's out-letters introduce his correspondents, elucidate
references, and identify the sources of his frequent quotations.
The in-letters are annotated much more lightly. The appendix
(continued from the previous volume), lists all the known letters
written or received by Wesley during the years 1740-55, along with
details about the location of the text, whether in this volume or
elsewhere." (from the Preface and Acknowledgements)
