2012 Reprint of Original 1894 Edition. Exact facsimile of the
original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software.
Many have come to discover the writings of William Law through the
publication of selections of his work edited by Andrew Murray. "A
Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life" (1728) deeply influenced
the chief actors in the great Evangelical revival. John and Charles
Wesley, George Whitefield, Henry Venn, Thomas Scott, and Thomas
Adam all express their deep obligation to the author. "The Serious
Call" also affected others deeply. Samuel Johnson, ] Gibbon, Lord
Lyttelton and Bishop Home all spoke enthusiastically of its merits;
and it is still the only work by which its author is popularly
known. It has high merits of style, being lucid and pointed to a
degree. Though not the most popular, perhaps the most interesting,
original and suggestive of all Law's works are those he wrote in
his later years, after he had become an enthusiastic admirer of
Jacob Boehme, the Teutonic theosopher. From his earliest years, he
had been deeply impressed with the piety, beauty and thoughtfulness
of the writings of the Christian mystics. However, it was not till
after his accidental meeting with the works of Boehme, about 1734,
that pronounced mysticism appeared in his works.
