Keswick: A Bibliographic Introduction to the Higher Life Movement (Paperback or Softback)

PREFACE

This third monograph in the series, "Occasional Bibliographic Papers of the B. L. Fisher Library" follows Donald W. Dayton's THE AMERICAN HOLINESS MOVEMENT: A BIBLIOGRA- PHIC INTRODUCTION and David W. Faupel's THE PENTECOSTAL MOVEMENT, A BIBLIOGRAPH- ICAL ESSAY, at the suggestion of Dr. Melvin Dieter.

I wish to express appreciation to Dr. Susan A. Schultz, Director of the B. L. Fisher Library of Asbury Theological Seminary, for her patient encouragement throughout the du- ration of the project and for her critical evaluation of the manuscript.

A special debt of gratitude is owed to the persons who in responding to the first draft of this essay saved me from a multitude of errors and provided suggestions from the areas of their expertise: Dr. James Hamilton, Asbury College, has a prodigious knowledge of nineteenth century America and England; Dr. Melvin Director of Wesleyan Educational Institutions, and Mr. Donald W. Dayton, Director of Mellander Library and Assistant Professor of Theology at North Park Theological Seminary, are thoroughly aware of the literature and history of the European "Higher Life" Movements and the American Holiness Movement; Mr. David W. Faupel, Assistant Professor of Bibliography and Research at Asbury Theological Seminary has special expertise with regard to the literature of Pentecostalism and has continually provided insights and encouragement during the evolution of this essay; Dr. J. Edwin Orr graciously pro- vided suggestions incorporated herein. I alone accept responsibility for any errors which may remain, and would appreciate information on any inaccuracy discovered by the readers.

I am also grateful for access to several excellent collections and to the unfailing generosity and kind helpfulness of librarians and their staff assistants: Garrett-Evangelical Seminary; Moody Bible Institute; The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; The Regenstein Library; The University of Chicago; and especially the B. L. Fisher Library, As- bury Theological Seminary. Access to the personal collections of Dr. James Hamilton and Mr. Donald W. Dayton provided materials which filled serious lacunae in my research.

Finally, I wish to express my sincere thanks to Mrs. Joan Smith, Mrs. Wendy Ferns and Mrs. Kris Cryderman who cheerfully and accurately typed from manuscripts that were usually difficult, to Mrs. Gilbert (Esther) James who with patient persistence edited the text and verified bibliographic entries, and to Mrs. Linda Gates who prepared the final copy for printing.

One further word of explanation is due. For historic purposes the publication dates for titles listed are the earliest that could be established, and for brevity's sake, normally, only one publisher is cited. Many of these titles were published on both sides of the Atlantic; many reprints were issued. Please consult both the U. S. and British BOOKS-IN- PRINT for current publication data.
