An almost complete run of the journals (lacks only the 6th), including many first editions, plus Whitefield's autobiographical sketch and the two ephemeral newspaper issues. "[Whitefield's] influence in America, entirely apart from that which he exerted in Great-Britain, was many-sided and far reaching. With his advent a religious awakening already begun was greatly stimulated and a burst of evangelical activity occurred that had a marked effect not only on the religious and social life but on the political as well . . . Although others contributed greatly to this movement, Whitefield was its most dynamic representative, its unifying elements and the personification of its tendencies . . . The first authorized edition of his journal . . . appeared in 1738. Three continuations were published that same year, another in 1740 and two more in 1741"--DAB.
