This book introduces four journals that Henry Foxall (1758-1823)
kept during a trip to the British Isles in 1816-1817. It provides
unique primary source material, extensively annotated for clarity
and context. Foxall's journals offer an eyewitness account of
Methodist embourgeoisement and institutionalization as they were
occurring. They also provide some insight into the developing
differences between American and British Methodism. The journals
contain information on recent technological innovations of the
British Industrial Revolution and recount Foxall's interactions
with a number of prominent persons, both in British Methodism and
outside it. Because of Foxall's close relationship with Francis
Asbury, his status as an insider at the highest levels of American
Methodism, and his clear understanding of the British Methodism in
which he was raised, converted, and first licensed as a local
preacher, his perspective is well-informed and unique.
