George Whitefield: A Biography, with special reference to his labors in America

A chronological biography traces the life and ministry of an evangelical clergyman from upbringing and university formation through ordination, association with early Methodists, and intense itinerant preaching. It documents the rise of open-air sermons, construction of tabernacles, transatlantic journeys and labors in American colonies, administrative efforts such as founding charitable institutions, controversies with ecclesiastical authorities, and widespread popular response. The narrative interweaves letters, journal extracts, contemporary anecdotes, and eyewitness testimony to portray his devotional zeal, rhetorical power, organizational initiatives, and the social and religious effects of his revivalist activity.
