Synopsis

"The object of the present work has been to afford a view of the Life and Times of this distinguished woman so clear and ample as to render superfluous all future or collateral efforts at illustration. Every fact and incident of her long life is here recorded; every triumph of the cross under her vigourous and well-directed leading; every place of worship opened under her auspices, and every mark of divine favour and encouraging grace bestowed upon her labours."The author has drawn, without hesitation, from all accessible sources, the illustrative matter of his memoir. The biographies of WHITEFIELD, WESLEY, VENN, and the works and letters of FLETCHER, BERRIDGE, ROMAINE, WATTS, HILL, and other eminently pious individuals, have supplied invaluable contributions to the work now before the reader. But its more valuable portion consists in the original letters and anecdotes with which it teems, and in the straightforward integrity of purpose in its author." -- Extract from the preface. The personal character of the Countess of Huntingdon will be seen in the general history of her Life and Times: she stands, indeed, so connected with almost all which was good in the eighteenth century, that the character of the age, so far as religion is concerned, was in some measure her own. It is not insinuated, that she alone impressed that character on the Church, but that she entirely sympathised with it, and was not one whit behind the foremost in affection for souls and zeal for God." -- Extract from the Introduction. The Life and Times of Selina, Countess of Huntingdon is republished jointly by Berith Publications and Tentmaker Publications in two volumes completely retypeset from the third edition of 1840. This new edition will benefit from the index to the two volumes published in 1907.
