Excerpt from The Poetical Works of John and Charles Wesley, Vol. 3: Reprinted From the Originals
In preparing this Volume it has been found needful to deviate, to some extent, from the chronological order of the several publications reprinted; and as a similar necessity will probably arise again, it is noticed here once for all. The deviation, however, is but slight; and as fac-simile titles are given wherever practicable, the means of correcting it are supplied. Some of the original wood-cuts have been reproduced as matters of curiosity, or helps to identify particular editions; but no valuable end would be answered by reproducing all. One or two archaisms will be found in this, as in former volumes, and one or two words employed in an unusual sense, which it has not been deemed right to correct, or to encumber the page by pointing out in a note. While the Editor is duly sensible of the kindness which leads some of his readers to ask for more frequent annotations, he is unwilling to intrude on the province of any Commentator who may either now, or at a future period, employ himself upon these volumes.
