Published in 1793-6, amid controversy following the death of John
Wesley (1703-91), this two-volume work vied with others for status
as the most authentic biography of the Methodist leader. Wesley had
left his papers to his physician John Whitehead (c.1740-1804) and
the ministers Thomas Coke and Henry Moore, but Whitehead
monopolised the papers in the preparation of his biography,
refusing to allow his fellow executors access - the dispute is
mentioned in the prefatory matter to Volume 1. Volume 2 continues
the narrative from Wesley's voyage to America in 1735 until his
death. It also includes assessments of his character and writings,
as well as Whitehead's analysis of the state of Methodism at the
time of writing. This remains an important critical appraisal of
the movement's early history, offering researchers valuable
insights into the contemporary debates over the future and
structure of Methodism.
