Synopsis

Catalogue Of Works In Refutation Of Methodism: From Its Origin In 1729, To The Present Time by H. C. Decanver. This bibliographic catalogue, compiled by H. C. Decanver (with C. A. Lavender as editor) and first issued in New York in 1868, assembles 361 anti-Methodist works, categorized into three main groups: 361 anti-Methodistical works; eighty by Methodist authors; eighty-five miscellaneous items; and twenty-one political pamphlets. The Prefatory Remarks discuss the aim of assembling a comprehensive list across multiple domains, noting the difficulty of perfecting such a list in a single department. The volume documents major anti-Methodist writings—from sermons and pamphlets to conduct critiques—drawn from British and American sources. It also notes bibliographic references and indicates libraries where copies may be found, such as General Theological Seminary (New York), Theological Seminary of the Presbyterian Church at Princeton, and the Library Company of Philadelphia. Overall, the catalogue functions as a detailed reference resource on the history of Methodist controversy and its polemics in the 18th and 19th centuries.
