Summary:

An account of the Methodist Church in antebellum America, most of the material comes from the personal records of Ezekiel Cooper, an itinerant preacher active in the latter part of the 18th century. It uses the personal experiences of Cooper, as recorded in his letters and personal diaries, to describe the status and activities of the Methodist Church in New Jersey, Baltimore, Annapolis, Alexandria (Virginia), Charleston (South Carolina), Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Wilmington, Delaware. Events described include various denominational conferences and public reactions to church activities such as revivals. Also includes a chapter on the printing of Methodist books and an addendum on the Methodist Church's opposition to slavery.
