Synopsis

Autobiography: A Collection Of The Most Instructive And Amusing Lives Ever Published by George Whitefield. This volume comprises George Whitefield's Journal, including his travel narrative from London to Gibraltar and Savannah, with editor's preliminaries and introductions. It records his spiritual awakening and his relentless itinerant preaching across Britain and America, together with a continuation detailing his Savannah voyage and his work with the Georgia orphanages. The collection also presents a distinct Life of James Ferguson, recounting a Scottish peasant boy's self-instruction in mechanics, astronomy, and philosophy, and his ascent as a celebrated inventor and lecturer in the 18th century. The volume captures the character of 18th?century religious revival, a zeal for public instruction, and the networks that sustained itinerant reformers. It portrays both the ebullience and conflicts of evangelical work, including opposition from clergy, and the transatlantic dimension of the era's religious and scientific enterprise.
