	CROSSE (JOHN): A Letter to the Author of Remarks on Two of the Most Singular Characters of the Age. With a Reply by the Former. London Printed; and Sold by G. Kearsley..., 1790. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. 8vo, 190 x 120 mms., pp. vi [vii section title, viii blank], 98 [99 adverts, 100 blank], disbound; title-page and last blank leaf soiled. John Crosse (1739 - 1816) came under the influence of John Wesley at an early age, and Wesley occasionally preached at his church in Bradford. In this pamphlet, he is responding to a personal attack by Edward Baldwyn (1745 - 1817). He had been appointed master of Bradford Grammar School in 1784, but, as Oxford DNB notes, "Baldwyn's time in Bradford was, however, dominated by his quarrel with the vicar of Bradford, John Crosse, and with the Sunday lecturer at the parish church, William Atkinson. Since 1703, the master of Bradford grammar school had, save for four years, also held the post of lecturer. Baldwyn regarded the post as a perquisite, but Crosse, who became vicar in the same year that Baldwyn took over the school, appointed Atkinson instead. Baldwyn attributed this to a grudge, for Crosse had also been a candidate for the job as master of Bradford grammar school, but there were also theological differences. Crosse, like Atkinson, was an evangelical, with sympathies for Methodism." ESTC T45640 locates 7 copies in UK libraries and a copy at Duke University.

	NEWTON (JOHN). CECIL (RICHARD): Memoirs of the Rev. John Newton, Late Rector of the United Parishes of St. Mary Woolnoth, and St. Mary Woolchurch Maw, Lombard Street; With General Remarks on his Life, Connexions, and Character. Second Edition, Corrected. London: Printed for J. Hatchard...And sold by Messrs.

Newton (1725 - 1807) was both slave trader and Church of England Clergyman, and author of "Amazing Grace." In the 1750s, he came under the influence of George Whitefield and John and Charles Wesley. A "Methodist" in all but name, he was comfortable with Calvinistic Methodism, and as D. Bruce Hindmarsh, in his Oxford DNB biography of Newton notes, "Branded a Methodist he was unsuccessful, during the winter of 1758–9, in several applications for orders in the Church of England." He was curate of Olney in 1779 when he and William Cowper published Olney Hymns.

	WESLEY (SAMUEL): The History of The New Testament, Representing the Actions and Miracles of our Blessed Saviour and his Apostles, Attempted in Verse: And adorn'd with CLII Sculptures. The Cuts done by J. Sturt. The Third Edition London: Printed by R. R. for Thomas Ward..., 1717. 8vo, pp. [xii], 305 [306 blank, 307 - 315 contents, 316 - 3 20 adverts], engraved frontispiece, additional engraved title-page, printed title-page in red and black, rather gaudily rebound in bright red sheepskin, gilt spine, red end-papers, all edges gilt; top of spine slightly defective. Not a binding showing much sympathy for the text. Samuel Wesley (1662 - 1735), father of John and Charles, was also the brother-in-law of John Dunton, who helped him to publish a somewhat less serious volume of verses in 1685, Maggots: or, Poems on Several Subjects Never Before Handled, but he seems more comfortable with these verses on the history of the New Testament; he wrote a similar volume for the Old Testament. Unlike later Methodists, he seems in the verse untroubled by Christ's first miracle at Cana (John II, 7-10), turning wine into water: "Our Saviour thus his Miracles began,/ Which show'd his Pow'r, and spake him more than Man:/ Confirm'd the Faith of those with him remain'd,/ Wide spread his Glory round, and new Disciples gain'd." The ambiguity of the last line was probably unintentional. Foxon W 326.

	WINTER (CORNELIUS). JAY (WILLIAM): Memoirs of the Life and Character of the late Reverend Cornelius Winter, compiled and composed by William Jay. Bath: Printed and Sold by M. Gye..., 1808. FIRST EDITION. Large 8vo, pp. xxi [xxii blank, xxiii engraved dedication, xxiv blank], 478 [479 adverts, 480 blank], including half-title and errata leaf, uncut, contemporary boards, paper label on spine; corners and edges a bit worn, but a very good copy, with the (probably contemporary) notation "Oakridge Wesleyan Sunday School Library" on the recto of the front free end-paper. Winter (1741 or 1742 - 1808) served both as Congregationalist minister and factotum to John Wesley and George Whitefield. Having been inspired by Wesley's preaching, he followed Wesley to Savannah, Georgia, where they hoped to convert the Indians and the black slaves. The present work is not so much a biography as a compendium of Winter's letters, with commentary and supplementary information from Jay, (1769-1853), the Congregational minister, who was the pastor of Argyle Chapel at Bath, and remained there for sixty-two years.
