About this book
George Whitefield: A Biography, with Special Reference to His Labors in America, is compiled by Joseph Belcher. The contents list gives, among others, a chapter on the moral state of Great Britain in the early part of the eighteenth century and on Whitefield from his birth to his first sermon, 1714-1736. The contents list also gives a chapter on Whitefield's success as a preacher in England and his first visit to America, 1736-1738.
The text says the Welsh were then a superstitious, and even a gloomy people. The text describes young men and women who on a Saturday night, particularly in the summer, held what they called Nosweithian cann, or singing eves. The text quotes Prince's Christian History, of December 15, as saying the Rev. Mr. Whitefield was so far revived as to be able to take coach with his consort, and set out from Portsmouth to Boston, Nov. 24.
