Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Rev. John Wesley's Ministerial Itineraries in Cornwall: Commenced in 1743, and Concluded in 1789; As Described by Himself in His "Journals;" To Which Are Added Statistics of Methodism in Cornwall in 1876, Etc.; With a Map of the Chapels and Circuits in That County
In the year 1765 Cornwall consisted of two circuits only, called the Eastern and Western Circuits respectively. The preachers were then entertained at the friends' houses, being necessarily absent several days from their own homes. At present Cornwall contains twenty-eight circuits and parts of circuits, and the ministers are not now obliged to lodge out of their own houses but rarely, because the circuits are mostly small - the most distant chapels being within a few miles of the preachers' residences.
