For some time aH istory of Methodism has been required which should utilize the results of recent study upon the origins of theM ethodist churches, manifest the sense of their oneness which all feel increasingly, and set forth worldwide Methodism as a branch of the Church Catholic with its own notes and an essential unity underlying its several forms in many lands. AN ew History of Methodism is designed to do this. It may claim this title, since not only is it the result of fresh study of the sources, but its plan and method have not been previously employed in Methodist histories. The chapters of the History have been prepared by several contributors. In our judgement the time is past for one author to produce such a history. As was said by the late Bishop of London (D r. Mandell Creighton) in approving this plan for the Cambridge Modern History, The task is too large, its relations are too numerous and too indefinite, for any one mind, however well stored, to appreciate them all. Moreover, this method has permitted the co-operation of representative historians of the several branches of Methodism, and of authors specially familiar with the various subjects dealt with.
