[807] This description is usually accompanied by what is called

Proposals of Mr. Peter Purry of Neufchatel for the encouragement
of Swiss Protestants settling in Carolina, 1731, and this document
is also included in Carroll’s Hist. Collections (ii. 121), and will be
found in Bernheim’s German Settlements, p. 90, in Col. Jones’
publication, already mentioned, and in other places. Bernheim
gives a summarized history of the colony.

[808] Among the publications instigating or recording this

immigration, the following are known: Der nunmehro in dem
neuen Welt vergnügt und ohne Heimwehe Schweitzer, oder

Gespräch und sichere Briefe von dem Landschafft Carolina und
übrigen Englishchen Pflantz-Städten in Amerika. Zurich, 1734.
(Sabin, iii. no. 10,974.) The Carter-Brown Catalogue (iii. no. 566)
mentions a tract, evidently intended to influence immigration to
Pennsylvania and the colonies farther south, which was printed in
1737 as Neu-gefundenes Eden.

Moravians.

[811] This gentleman has contributed to the periodical press

various papers on Huguenots in America. Cf. Poole’s Index, p.
612.

[812] In April, 1883, there was formed in New York a Huguenot

Society of America, under the presidency of John Jay, with vice-
presidents to represent each of the distinct settlements of French
Protestants prior to 1787,—Staten Island, Long Island, New
Rochelle, New Paltz, New Oxford, Boston, Narragansett, Maine,
Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and South Carolina. Their first
report has been printed. Monograph iv. of Bishop Perry’s
American Episcopal Church is “The Huguenots in America, and
their connection with the Church,” by the Rev. A. V. Wittmeyer.

College library [12353.2]. The Dinwiddie Papers throw some light
on Glen’s career. The Second Report of the Historical Manuscripts
Commission, p. 38, notes a collection of letters sent from South
Carolina during Gov. Lyttleton’s term, 1756-1765, as being in Lord
Lyttleton’s archives at Hagley, in Worcestershire.

[819] The latest writer on the theme, Doyle, in his English in
America, thinks Hewatt “may probably be trusted in matters of
notoriety.” Grahame (iii. 78) says: “Hewit is a most perplexing
writer. A phrase of continual recurrence with him is ‘about this
time,’—the meaning of which he leaves to the conjecture of
readers and the laborious investigation of scholars, as he scarcely
ever particularizes a date.” Again he adds (ii. p. 110): “While he
abstains from the difficult task of relating the history of North
Carolina, he selects the most interesting features of its annals,
and transfers them to the history of the southern province. His
errors, though hardly honest, were probably not the fruit of
deliberate misrepresentation.” Cf. Sprague’s Annals of the Amer.
Pulpit, iii. p. 251.

[820] That portion about South Carolina, ending with the revolution
of 1719, is printed in Carroll, ii. 273.

[821] These volumes are described in the Sparks Catalogue, pp.

214-215, and are now in Harvard College library.

[822] Grahame (ii. 167) says of Chalmers that “he seems to relax
his usual attention to accuracy, when he considers his topics
insignificant; and from this defect, as well as from the
peculiarities of his style, it is sometimes difficult to discover his
meaning or reconcile his apparent inconsistency in different
passages.”

[823] Cf. Belknap Papers (Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll.), ii. 218, 219.

[825] An introduction to the history of the revolt of the American

colonies, derived from the state papers in the public offices of
Great Britain. Boston, 1845. 2 v.

[826] The copy referred to is also marked in Mr. Chalmers’

autograph as “from the author to Mr. Strange as an evidence of
his respect and kindness.” It is also noted in it that it is the
identical copy described by Rich in his Bibliotheca Americana
Nova (under 1782), no. 2, where it is spoken of as “apparently
entirely unknown,” and having the bookplate of George Buchanan
with a manuscript note, “Not published, corrected for the press
by me, G. B.” No such evidences of Buchanan’s ownership are
now in the volume, and the title as given by Rich is more
 extended than that written by Chalmers. A slightly different title
too is given in the only other copy of which trace has been found,
that given in the Murphy Catalogue, no. 534.

[827] A large number of the Chalmers manuscripts relating to

America are enumerated in Thomas Thorpe’s Supplement to a
Catalogue of Manuscripts, 1843. Such as relate to periods not of
the Revolution are somewhat minutely described under the
following numbers:—

[828] He was born in 1735, and was a Pennsylvanian, whom

commercial aims brought to Edmonton, in North Carolina, where
he practised medicine, and as a representative of the district sat
in Congress. He had removed, however, to New York when he
published his history. He died in 1819. Cf. Scharf and Westcott’s
Hist. of Philadelphia, ii. 1146.

[829] North Amer. Rev., xii. 37. In 1829 Judge A. D. Murphy sought,
unsuccessfully, to induce the legislature to aid him in publishing a
history of North Carolina in six or eight volumes. North Amer.

[831] Cf. N. Eng. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., Oct., 1870.

[832] J. D. B. DeBow’s Political Annals of South Carolina, prepared

for the Southern Quarterly Review, was printed separately as a
pamphlet, at Charleston, in 1845. A writer in this same Review
(Jan., 1852) deplores the apathy of the Southern people and the
indifference of Southern writers to the study of their local history.
In the series of the Johns Hopkins University Studies in Historical
and Political Science, Mr. B. J. Ramage has published an essay on
“Local government and free schools in South Carolina.”

[833] There is also a list of papers prior to 1700 in the appendix of

Rivers’ Sketch, etc., p. 313.

[834] The Third Report (1872) of the Commission on Historical

Manuscripts (p. xi.) says: “In April, 1871, the Earl of Shaftesbury
signified his wish to present his valuable collection of manuscripts
to the Public Record Office. These papers have been arranged
 and catalogued by Mr. Sainsbury.” The same Report (p. 216)
contains Mr. Alfred J. Horwood’s account of these papers, the
ninth section of which is described as comprising letters and
papers about Carolina, and many letters and abstracts of letters
in Locke’s handwriting. Cf. Charleston Year Book, 1884, p. 167.

[835] A review of documents and records in the archives of the

State of South Carolina, hitherto inedited (Columbia, 1852),
points out the gaps in its public records. Of the Grand Council’s
Journal, only two years (1671, etc.) are preserved, as described
by Dalcho and in Topics in the History of South Carolina, a
pamphlet. Cf. also Rivers’ Sketch, etc., p. 370.

[836] Abstracts of many of them are necessarily included in

Sainsbury’s Calendars.

[840] [He was born in 1698; but see W. S. Bogart on “the mystery
of Oglethorpe’s birthday,” in Magazine of American History,
February, 1883, p. 108. There is a statement as to his family in
Nichols’s Literary Anecdotes, ii. 17; copied by Harris, in his Life of
Oglethorpe.—Ed.]

[841] The corporate seal adopted had two faces. That for the
authentication of legislative acts, deeds, and commissions
contained this device: two figures resting upon urns, from which
flowed streams typifying the rivers forming the northern and
southern boundaries of the province. In their hands were spades,
suggesting agriculture as the chief employment of the settlers.
Above and in the centre was seated the genius of the Colony, a
spear in her right hand, the left placed upon a cornucopia, and a
liberty cap upon her head. Behind, upon a gentle eminence,
stood a tree, and above was engraven this legend, Colonia
Georgia Aug. On the other face,—which formed the common seal
to be affixed to grants, orders, and certificates,—were seen silk-
worms in the various stages of their labor, and the appropriate
motto, Non sibi sed aliis. This inscription not only proclaimed the
disinterested motives and intentions of the trustees, but it
suggested that the production of silk was to be reckoned among
 the most profitable employments of the colonists,—a hope not
destined to be fulfilled.

[842] There is in Lossing’s Field Book of the Revolution, ii. 722, a

sketch of the remains of the barracks as they appeared in 1851.

[843] As Captain-General he was entitled to command all the land

and naval forces of the province, and by him were all officers of
the militia to be appointed. As Governor-in-chief he was a
constituent part of the General Assembly, and possessed the sole
power of adjourning, proroguing, convening, and dissolving that
body. It rested with him to approve or to veto any bill passed by
the Council and the Assembly. All officers who did not receive
their warrants directly from the Crown were appointed by him:
and if vacancies occurred, by death or removal, in offices usually
filled by the immediate nomination of the King, the appointees of
the governor acted until the pleasure of the home government
was signified. He was the custodian of the Great Seal, and as
Chancellor exercised within the province powers of judicature
similar to those reposed in the High Chancellor of England. He
was to preside in the Court of Errors, composed of himself and
the members of Council as judges, hearing and determining all
appeals from the superior courts. As Ordinary, he collated to all
vacant benefices, granted probate of wills, and allowed
administration upon the estates of those dying intestate. By him
were writs issued for the election of representatives to sit in the
Commons House of Assembly. As Vice-Admiral, while he did not
sit in the court of vice-admiralty,—a judge for that court being
appointed by the Crown,—in time of war he could issue warrants
to that court empowering it to grant commissions to privateers.
With him resided the ability to pardon all crimes except treason
and murder. It was optional with him to select as his residence
such locality within the limits of the province as he deemed most
convenient for the transaction of the public business, and he
might direct the General Assembly to meet at that point. He was
invested with authority, for just cause, to suspend any member of
Council, and, in a word, might “do all other necessary and proper
things in such manner and under such regulations as should,
upon due consideration, appear to be best adapted to the
circumstances of the colony.” The King’s Council was to consist of
twelve members in ordinary and of two extraordinary members.
They were to be appointed by the Crown, and were to hold office
during His Majesty’s pleasure. In the absence of the governor and
lieutenant-governor, the senior member of the Council in Ordinary
administered the government. When sitting as one of the three
branches of the legislature the Council was styled the Upper
House of Assembly. It also acted as Privy Council to the governor,
assisting him in the conduct of public affairs. In this capacity the
members were to convene whenever the governor saw fit to
summon them. When sitting as an Upper House, the Council met
at the same time with the Commons House of Assembly, and was
presided over by the lieutenant-governor, or, in his absence, by
the senior member present. The forms of procedure resembled
those observed in the House of Lords in Great Britain.
The qualification of an elector was the ownership of fifty acres
of land in the parish or district in which he resided and voted;
that of a representative, was the proprietorship of five hundred
acres of land in any part of the province. Writs of election were
issued by order of the Governor in Council under the Great Seal
of the province, were tested by him, and were returnable in forty
days. When convened, the Representatives were denominated
the Commons House of Assembly. Choosing its own speaker, who
was presented to the governor for approbation, this body,—
composed of the immediate representatives of the people, and
conforming in its legislative and deliberative conduct to the
precedents established for the governance of the English House
of Commons,—when convened, continued its session until
dissolved by the governor. It claimed and enjoyed the exclusive
right of originating bills for the appropriation of public moneys.
Thus constituted, the Upper and Lower Houses formed the
General Assembly of the province and legislated in its behalf. Bills
which passed both Houses were submitted to the governor for his
consideration. If approved by him, the Seal of the Colony was
attached, and they were duly filed. Authenticated copies were
then prepared and transmitted for the information and sanction
of the Home Government.
Provision was also made for the establishment of a “General
Court,” of a “Court of Session of Oyer and Terminer and General
Gaol Delivery,” and of courts of inferior jurisdiction. There was
also a “Court of Admiralty.”
The presiding judge was styled Chief-Justice of Georgia. He
was a “barrister at law” who had attended at Westminster, was
appointed by warrant under His Majesty’s sign-manual and
signet, and enjoyed a salary of £500, raised by annual grant of
Parliament. The assistant justices were three in number. They
 received no salaries except on the death or in the absence of the
chief-justice, and held their appointments from the governor.
Arrangements were also made for appointment of Collectors of
Customs, of a Register of Deeds, of a Receiver of Quit Rents, of a
Surveyor-General, of a Secretary of the Province, of a Clerk of
Council, of a Provost Marshal, of an Attorney-General, and of
other necessary officers.
The device approved for a public seal was as follows: On one
face was a figure representing the Genius of the Colony offering a
skein of silk to His Majesty, with the motto, “Hinc laudem sperate
Coloni,” and this inscription around the circumference: “Sigillum
Provinciæ nostræ Georgiæ in America.” On the other side
appeared His Majesty’s arms, crown, garter, supporters, and
motto, with the inscription: “Georgius II. Dei Gratia Britanniæ,
Franciæ, et Hiberniæ Rex, Fidei Defensor, Brunsvici et Luneburgi
Dux, Sacri Romani Imperii Archi Thesaurarius et Princeps Elector.”

This tract is reprinted with the plan in Force’s Tracts, vol. i. There
is a copy in Harvard College library [12354.7]. Coming within the
grant to Mountgomery and lying “within a day’s rowing of the
English habitations in South Carolina” are certain islands called by
Sir Robert, St. Symon, Sapella, Santa Catarina, and Ogeche,
which were described in a tract printed in London in 1720, called
A description of the Golden Islands with an account of the
undertaking now on foot for making a settlement there. (Cf.
Carter-Brown, iii. no. 266.)
There is in Harvard College library a tract attributed to John
Burnwell, published also in 1720 in London: An account of the
foundation and establishment of a design now on foot for a
settlement on the Golden Islands to the south of Port Royal, in
Carolina. (Sabin, iii. no. 10955.)—Ed.].

[847] [In this separate shape this tract was a reprint with additions
from the N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., 1872. It has a “new map
of the Cherokee nation” which it is claimed was drawn by the
 Indians about 1750, with the names put in by the English. A later
map of the region about the Tennessee River above and below
Fort Loudon appeared as “A draught of the Cherokee country on
the west side of the 24 mountains, commonly called Over the
hills, taken by Henry Timberlake, when he was in that country in
March, 1762: likewise the names of the principal herdsmen of
each town and what number of fighting men they send to war”
[809 in all], which appeared in Timberlake’s Memoirs, 1765; and
again in Jefferys’ General Topography of North America and West
Indies, London, 1768. A copy of Timberlake with the map is in
Harvard College library. The above fac-simile is from Harris’s
Oglethorpe.—Ed.

[848] [This was reviewed by Sparks in No. Amer. Rev., liii. p. 448.—

[849] [The story of the founding of Georgia is necessarily told in

general histories of the United States (Bancroft, Hildreth, Gay,
etc.), and in articles on Oglethorpe like those in the Southern
Quart. Rev., iii. 40, Temple Bar, 1878 (copied into Living Age, no.
1797), and All the Year Round, xviii. 439.—Ed.]

[850] [It was reprinted in London in 1733. Both editions are in

Harvard College library. It was again reprinted in the Georgia
Hist. Soc. Collections, i. p. 42. Cf. Carter-Brown, iii. no. 494.
Grahame (iii. 182) calls it “most ingenious and interesting, though
somewhat fancifully colored.” Sabin (Dictionary, xiii. nos. 56, 846)
says it is mostly taken from Salmon’s Modern History, 4th ed., iii.
p. 700.—Ed.]

[851] [It was issued in two editions in 1733; to the second was
added, beginning p. 43, among other matters a letter of
Oglethorpe dated “camp near Savannah, Feb. 10, 1732-3,” with
another from Gov. Johnson, of South Carolina. It has a plate
giving a distant view of the projected town, with emblematic
accompaniments in the foreground, and the map referred to on a
previous page. There is a copy of the second issue in Charles
Deane’s collection. Cf. also Carter-Brown, iii. 511-12. A French
translation was issued at Amsterdam in 1737 in the Recueil de
Voyages au Nord, vol. ix., with the new map of Georgia, copied
from the English edition. The original English was reprinted in the
Georgia Hist. Soc. Coll., i. 203.—Ed.]
[852] [When the sermon of Samuel Smith, Feb. 23, 1730-31, was
printed in 1733, he added to it Some account of the design of the
Trustees for establishing the Colony of Georgia in America, which
was accompanied by the map referred to in the preceding note
(Carter-Brown, iii. no. 516). The charter of Georgia, as well as
those of Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and
Massachusetts Bay, is given in A list of Copies of Charters from
the Commissioners for Trade and Plantations, presented to the
House of Commons, 1740 (London, 1741). It is given in English
in Mémoires des Commissaires du Roi, vol. iv. p. 617 (London,
1757). Cf. Mag. of Amer. Hist., Feb., 1883, in “The Sesqui-
Centennial of the founding of Georgia.” There is an appendix of
documents in a Report of the Committee appointed to examine
into the proceedings of the people of Georgia with respect to
South Carolina and the disputes subsisting between the two
Colonies. Charlestown, 1737. (Carter-Brown, iii. no. 570; Brinley,

[853] [It is also ascribed to Benj. Martyn. It was reprinted at

Annapolis in 1742, and is included in Force’s Tracts, vol. i., and in
the Georgia Hist. Soc. Collections, ii. p. 265. Cf. Carter-Brown, iii.
no. 685. The original is in Harvard College library. One passage in
this tract (Force’s ed., p. 37) reads: “Mr. Oglethorpe has with him
Sir Walter Rawlegh’s written journal, and by the latitude of the
place, the marks and traditions of the Indians, it is the very first
place where he went on shore, and talked with the Indians, and
was the first Indian they ever saw; and about half a mile from
Savannah is a high mount of earth, under which lies their chief
king. And the Indians informed Mr. Oglethorpe that their king
desired, before he died, that he might be buried on the spot
where he talked with that great good man.” The fact that Ralegh
was never in North America somewhat unsettles this fancy.—Ed.]

[854] [It has an appendix of documents, and is reprinted in the

Georgia Hist. Soc. Collections, i. 153. Cf. Carter-Brown, iii. no.
686; Barlow, no. 857. A MS. note by Dr. Harris in one of the
copies in Harvard College library says that, though usually
ascribed to Henry Martyn, he has good authority for assigning its
authorship to John Percival, Earl of Egmont.—Ed.]

by Samuel Urlsperger, was begun in 1734, with the general title,
Ausführliche Nachricht von den Saltzburgischen Emigranten. It
was reissued in 1735. Judging from the copies in Harvard College
library, both editions had the engraved portrait of Tomo-cachi,
with his nephew, and the map of Savannah County. The 1735
edition had a special title (following the general one), Der
Ausführlichen Nachrichten von der Königlich-Gross-Britannischen
Colonie Saltzburgischer Emigranten in America, Erster Theil. In
the “vierte continuation” of this part there is at p. 2073 the large
folding map of the county of Savannah. With the sixth
continuation a “Zweyter Theil” begins, with a general title (1736),
and a “Dritter Theil” includes continuations no. 13 to 18. This
thirteenth continuation has a large folding plan of Ebenezer,
showing the Savannah River at the bottom, with a ship in it, and
it was published by Seutter in Augsburg, with a large map of the
coast. The set is rare, and the Carter-Brown Catalogue (iii. no.
541) gives a collation, and adds that “only after many years’
seeking and the purchase of several imperfect copies” was its set
completed. Harvard College library has a set which belonged to
Ebeling. (Turell’s Life of Colman, 152.) Urlsperger was a
correspondent of Benjamin Colman, of Boston. Calvary, of Berlin,
had for sale in 1885 the correspondence of Samuel Urlsperger
with Fresenius, 1738-56 (29 letters), held at 100 marks.
There is a supplemental work in four volumes, printed at
Augsburg in 1754-60, bringing the journal down to 1760,
Americanisches Ackerwerk Gottes. It is also in Harvard College
library, and contains the mezzotint portrait of Bolzius, the senior
minister of Ebenezer, which is engraved on wood in Gay’s Pop.
Hist. of the U. S., iii. 155. Harvard College library has also a part
of the journal, with the same title (Augsburg, 1760), which seems
to belong chronologically after the third part. (Cf. Brinley

[872] [Tyler (Amer. Lit., ii. 292), on the contrary, says of this book:
“Within a volume of only one hundred and twelve pages is
compressed a masterly statement of the author’s alleged
grievances at the hands of Oglethorpe. The book gives a detailed
and even documentary account of the rise of the colony, and its
quick immersion in suffering and disaster, through Oglethorpe’s
selfishness, greed, despotism, and fanatic pursuit of social
chimeras.... Whatever may be the truth or the justice of this
book, it is abundantly interesting, and if any one has chanced to
find the prevailing rumor of Oglethorpe somewhat nauseating in
its sweetness, he may here easily allay their unpleasant effect.
Certainly as a polemic it is one of the most expert pieces of
writing to be met with in our early literature. It never blusters or
scolds. It is always cool, poised, polite, and merciless.”—Ed.]

Charles C. Jones, Jr. (also published separately), and Itinerant
Observations in America, reprinted from the London Magazine of
1745-6. In the Dead Towns of Georgia the author perpetuates
the almost forgotten memories of Old and New Ebenezer, of
Frederica, of Abercorn, of Sunbury, of Hardwick, of Petersburg,
and of lesser towns and plantations, once vital and influential, but
now covered with the mantle of decay. This contribution
embraces a large portion of the early history of the province, and
recounts the vicissitudes and the mistakes encountered during
the epoch of colonization. It is illustrated with engraved plans of
New Ebenezer, Frederica, Sunbury, Fort Morris, and Hardwick,
and revives traditions and recollections of persons and places
which had become quite forgotten.
To the Itinerant Observations in America the student will turn
with pleasure for early impressions of the province, and especially
of its southern confines.

[880] [The lives of Wesley as touching this early experience of his

life, as well as illustrating a moral revolution, which took within its
range all the English colonies during the period of the present
volume, may properly be characterized here:—
The introduction to Rigg’s Living Wesley is devoted to a
criticism of the different accounts of John Wesley, and the
student will find further bibliographical help in a paper on “Wesley
and his biographers,” by W. C. Hoyt in the Methodist Quarterly,
vol. viii.; in the article in Allibone’s Dict. of Authors; in Decanver’s
[Cavender pseud.] list of books, written in refutation of
Methodism; and in the list of authorities given by Southey in his
Life of Wesley.
Wesley left three literary executors,—Coke, Moore, and
Whitehead, his physician; and his journals and papers were put
into the hands of the last named. Coke and Moore, however,
acting independently, were the first to publish a hasty memoir,
and Whitehead followed in 1793-96; but his proved to be the
work of a theological partisan. A memoir by Hampton was ready
when Wesley died, but it turned out to be very meagre.
Next came the life by Southey in 1820. He had no sources of
information beyond the printed material open to all; but he had
literary skill to make the most of it, and appreciation enough of
his subject to elevate Wesley’s standing in the opinion of such as
were outside of his communion. He accordingly made an account
of a great moral revolution, which has been by no means
superseded in popular usefulness.
Now followed a number of lives intended to correct the
representations of previous biographers, and in some cases to
offer views more satisfactory to the Methodists themselves.
Moore, in 1824, found something to correct in the accounts of
both Whitehead and Southey. Watson, in 1831, aimed to displace
what Southey had said unsatisfactory to the sect, and to correct
Southey’s chronological order; but he made his narrative slight
and incomplete. Southey was, however, chiefly relied upon by
Mrs. Oliphant in her sketch, first in Blackwood’s Mag., Oct., 1868,
and later in her Hist. Sketches of the Reign of George II.; but
while Dr. Rigg acknowledges it to be clever, he calls it full of
misconceptions. Mrs. Julia Wedgwood, in her John Wesley and
the Evangelical Reaction of the Eighteenth Century (London,
1870), relied so much on Southey, as the Methodists say, that she
neglected later information; but she so far accorded with the
general estimation of Wesley in the denomination as to reject
Southey’s theory of his ambition.
In the general histories of English Methodism, Wesley
necessarily plays a conspicuous part, and their authors are
among the most important of his biographers. The first volume of
George Smith’s history was in effect a life of Wesley, though
somewhat incomplete as such; but in Abel Stevens’s opening
volumes the story is told more completely and with graphic skill.
There is an excellent account of these days in chapter 19 of Earl
Stanhope’s History of England, and a careful summary is given in
the fourth volume of the Pictorial History of England.
 The relations which Wesley sustained throughout to the
Established Church have been discussed in the London Quarterly
Review by the Rev. W. Arthur, and by Dr. James H. Rigg, the
contribution by the latter being subsequently enlarged in a
separate book, The relations of John Wesley and of Wesleyan
Methodism to the Church of England, investigated and
determined. 2d edition, revised and enlarged. London, 1871. See
also British Quarterly Review, Oct., 1871, and the Contemp.
Review, vol. xxviii. Curteis, in his Bampton lectures, goes over the
ground also. Urlin, John Wesley’s place in Church History (1871),
prominently claimed that Wesley was a revivalist in the church,
and not a dissenter, and aimed to add to our previous knowledge.
A Catholic view of him is given by Dr. J. G. Shea in the Amer.
Cath. Quart. Rev., vii. p. 1.
The most extensive narrative, considering Wesley in all his
relations, private as well as public, the result of seventeen years’
labor, with the advantage of much new material, is the Life and
Times of Wesley, by Tyerman. It is, however, far too voluminous
for the general reader. He is not blind to Wesley’s faults, and
some Methodists say he is not in sufficient sympathy with the
reformer to do him justice.
Those who wish compacter estimates of the man, with only
narrative enough to illustrate them, will find such in Taylor’s
Wesley and Methodism, where the philosophy of the movement is
discussed; in Rigg’s Living Wesley, which is a condensed
generalization of his life, not without some new matter; and in Dr.
Hamilton’s article in the North British Review, which was kindly in
tone, but not wholly satisfactory to the Methodists.
There is a well-proportioned epitome of his life by Lelièvre in
French, of which there is an English translation, John Wesley, his
Life and Work, London, 1871. Janes has made Wesley his own
historian, by a collocation of his journals, letters, etc., and his
journals have been separately printed. There is a separate
narrative of Wesley’s early love, Narrative of a remarkable
Transaction, etc. A paper on his character and opinions in earlier
life is in the London Quart. Rev., vol. xxxvii. On his mission to
Georgia, see David Bogue and James Bennett’s History of
Dissenters from 1688 to 1808, London, 1808-12, in 4 volumes,
vol. iii.; and the note on his trouble with Oglethorpe in Grahame’s
United States (Boston ed., iii. p. 201).
Lesser accounts and miscellaneous material will be found in
Clarke’s Memoirs of the Wesley Family; in Gorrie’s Eminent
 Methodist Ministers; in Larrabee’s Wesley and his Coadjutors; in
Sprague’s Annals of the American Pulpit, v. 94; in J. B. Hagany’s
paper in Harper’s Magazine, vol. xix.; in the Galaxy, Feb., 1874; in
the Contemporary Review, 1875 and 1876; in Madame Ossoli’s
Methodism at the Fountain, in her Art, Literature, and Drama;
and in W. M. Punshon’s Lectures.
See also Nichols’s Literary Anecdotes, vol. v.; Malcolm’s Index,
and numerous references in Poole’s Index to Periodical Literature,
p. 1398.
Tyerman’s Oxford Methodists uses the material he was forced
to leave out of his Life of Wesley.
The portraits of Wesley are numerous. Tyerman gives the
earliest known; and it was taken (1743) nearer the time of his
Georgia visit than any other which we have. J. C. Smith in his
British Mezzotint Portraits enumerates a series (vol. i. pp. 64,
442; ii. 600, 692, 773; iii. 1365; iv. 1545, 1748).—Ed.]

[882] [Whitefield’s labors in Georgia are summarized in Tyerman’s

Life of Whitefield, London, 1876, with references; and other
references are in Poole’s Index to Periodical Lit., p. 1406. Bishop
Perry, in his Hist. of the American Episcopal Church, gives the
bibliography of Whitefield’s Journals, and a chapter on “The
Wesleys and George Whitefield in Georgia.” An account by Bishop
Beckwith of the Orphan House is contained in the same work.
Foremost among the opponents of Whitefield was Alexander
Garden, an Episcopal clergyman in Charleston, who lived in the
colony from 1720 to his death in 1756. As the Commissary of the
Bishop of London, the constructive ecclesiastical head of the
colonies, he brought much power to aid his pronounced opinions,
and he prosecuted Whitefield with vigor both in the ecclesiastical
court and in the desk. In 1743 Garden reviewed his course in a
letter [N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., xxiv. 117] in which he says:
“Bad also is the present state of the poor Orphan House in
Georgia,—that land of lies, and from which we have no truth but
what they can neither disguise nor conceal. The whole Colony is
accounted here one great lie, from the beginning to this day; and
the Orphan House, you know, is a part of the whole,—a
scandalous bubble.”—Ed.]

“against the retailing of spirituous liquors without a license.”
August 28th, a second proclamation was ordered to be published,
and “a penalty be added of 20 shillings sterling for each offence,
to be paid to the informers, and that all retailers of liquors be
forbid on the same penalty to entertain any company after nine
at night.” In the following February, it was “Resolved, that over
and above the penalties declared by former Acts of council, any
person convicted of selling spirituous liquors without the
governor’s license, shall for the first offence sit in the pillory or
stocks for one hour, and for the second offence shall receive
twenty lashes.”—Selections from the Public Documents, pp. 570,

[912] We encounter Gyles frequently as commander of posts in the

eastern country. He lived latterly at Roxbury, Mass., and published
at Boston, in 1736, Memoirs of the odd adventures, strange
deliverances, etc., in the captivity of John Gyles, Esq.,
Commander of the garrison on St. George’s River. This book is of
great rarity. There is a copy in Harvard College library [5315.14]
and a defective one in the Mass. Hist. Soc. library (Catalogue, p.
553). One is noted in S. G. Drake’s Sale Catalogue, 1845, which
seems also to have been imperfect. Drake in reprinting the book
in his Tragedies of the Wilderness, Boston, 1846 (p. 73), altered
the text throughout. It was perhaps Drake’s copy which is noted
in the Brinley Catalogue, i. no. 476, selling for $37. It was again
reprinted in Cincinnati, by William Dodge, in 1869, but he
followed Drake’s disordered text. (Cf. Carter-Brown, iii. no. 547;
Mem. Hist. Boston, ii. 336; Church, Entertaining Passages,
Dexter’s ed., ii. 163, 203; Johnston, Bristol, Bremen, and
Pemaquid, 183; J. A. Vinton’s Gyles Family, 122; N. E. Hist.

[915] There were two governors of Canada of this name, who must
not be confounded. This was the earlier.

9-15 cover “Les Abénakis en Canada et en Acadie, 1701-1755.”

[917] John Marshall’s diary under March, 1707, notes the

disinclination of the people to agree with the determination of the
General Court to make a descent on Port Royal. (Mass. Hist. Soc.
Proc., April, 1884, p. 159.) There are in the Collection de
Manuscrits, etc. (Quebec, 1884), two papers on this matter: one
dated Port Royal, June 26, 1707, “Entreprise des Anglois contre
l’Acadie” (vol. ii. p. 464); the other dated July 6, “Entreprise des
Bastonnais sur l’Acadie par M. Labat” (p. 477).

[918] Colonels Hutchinson and Townsend, and John Leverett.

Letters from the latter respecting the expedition are in C. E.
Leverett’s Memoir of John Leverett, and in Quincy’s Hist. of
Harvard Univ. Cf. Sibley’s Harvard Graduates, iii. 185, 197;
Marshall’s diary in Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., April, 1884, p. 159.

[919] Hannay (Acadia, 269) judges Charlevoix’s stories of hand-to-

hand fighting as largely fabulous. Hutchinson (ii. 134) prints a
letter from Wainwright, who had succeeded March in command,
in which the sorry condition of the men is set forth.

[920] These tracts are: A Memorial of the Present Deplorable State

of New England, with the many disadvantages it lyes under by
the mall-administration of their present Governor, Joseph Dudley,
Esq., and his son Paul ... to which is added a faithful but
melancholy account of several barbarities by the French and
Indians in the east and west parts of New England, Printed in the
year 1707, and sold ... in Boston. Two things seem clear: that
Cotton Mather incited, perhaps wrote, this tract, and that the
printing was done in London. It is not known that there is a copy
in this country, and the reprint was made from one in the British
Museum.
Dudley or some friend rejoined in the second tract, not without
violent recriminations upon Mather: A modest enquiry into the
grounds and occasions of a late pamphlet intituled a Memorial,
etc. By a disinterested hand. London, 1707. (Carter-Brown, iii. no.
99; Murphy, i. 327.)
 The third tract touches particularly the present expedition: The
Deplorable State of New England, by reason of a covetous and
treacherous Governor and pusillanimous Counsellors, ... to which
is added an account of the shameful miscarriage of the late
expedition against Port Royal. London, 1708. (Harv. Coll. library,
10396.80; and Carter-Brown, iii. no. 115.) This tract was
reprinted in Boston in 1720. The North Amer. Rev. (iii. 305) says
that this pamphlet was thought to have been written by the Rev.
John Higginson, of Salem, at the age of ninety-two; but the “A.
H.” of the preface is probably Alexander Holmes. (Sabin, v.
19,639.) Palfrey (iv. 304, etc.) thinks that its smartness and
pedantry indicate rather Cotton Mather or John Wise (Brinley, i.,
no. 285) as the author.

[921] Stevens, Bibliotheca Geog., no. 887; Field, Indian Bibliog., no.
428; Brinley, i. no. 83; Sabin, v. 20,128. The Boston Public Library
has a Rouen edition of 1708. The Carter-Brown (iii. 109, 137) has
both editions, as has Mr. Barlow (Rough List, nos. 784, 789, 790).
The full title of the Rouen edition is: Relation du voyage du Port
Royal de l’Acadie ou de la Nouvelle France, dans laquelle on voit
un détail des divers mouvements de la mer dans une traversée
de long cours; la description du Païs, les occupations des François
qui y sont établis, les manières des différentes nations sauvages,
leurs superstitions et leurs chasses, avec une dissertation exacte
sur le Castor. Ensuite de la relation, on y a ajouté le détail d’un
combat donné entre les François et les Acadiens contre les
Anglois.

[925] Palfrey, iv. 275, quotes Sunderland’s instructions to Dudley

from the British Colonial Papers. The proclamation which the
British agents issued on their arrival, with Dudley’s approval, is in
the Mass. Archives. Vetch had as early as 1701 been engaged in
traffic up the St. Lawrence. Cf. Journal of the voyage of the sloop
Mary from Quebec, 1701, with introduction and notes by E. B.
O’Callaghan, Albany, 1866. Through this and other adventures he
 had acquired a knowledge of the river; and in pursuance of such
traffic he had gained some enmity, and had at one time been
fined £200 for trading with the French. It was in 1706 that
William Rouse, Samuel Vetch, John Borland, and others were
arrested on this charge. (Mass. Hist. Coll., xviii. 240.)

contributed in 1885 to the Eastern Chronicle, published in that
town, a series of papers on “Samuel Vetch, first English governor
of Nova Scotia.” Cf. also J. G. Wilson on “Samuel Vetch, governor
of Acadia” in International Review, xi. 462; and The Scot in
British North America (Toronto, 1880), i. p. 288. There is also in
the Nova Scotia Historical Collections, vol. iv., a memoir of
Samuel Vetch by Dr. Patterson, including papers of his
administration in Nova Scotia, 1710-13, with Paul Mascarene’s
narrative of events at Annapolis, Oct., 1710 to Sept., 1711, dated
at Boston, Nov. 6, 1713; as also a “journal of a voyage designed
to Quebeck from Boston, July, 1711,” in Sir Hovenden Walker’s
expedition. (See the following chapter.)
