Publisher's Synopsis
""Life on the Ocean or Memorials of Captain William Robinson: One of the Pioneers of Primitive Methodism in Fernando Po"" is a historical biography written by John Hall in 1874. The book tells the story of Captain William Robinson, who was a devout Christian and one of the pioneers of the Primitive Methodist movement in Fernando Po, an island off the coast of Africa. Robinson was a sailor and spent much of his life at sea, but he was also a dedicated missionary who worked tirelessly to spread the gospel to the people of Fernando Po. The book provides a detailed account of Robinson's life, from his early years as a sailor to his conversion to Christianity and his subsequent missionary work. It also gives insight into the challenges and difficulties that Robinson faced as a missionary in a foreign land, including cultural differences and language barriers. Through Robinson's story, Hall also sheds light on the history of the Primitive Methodist movement, which was a branch of Methodism that emerged in England in the early 19th century. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a man who was not only a skilled sailor but also a passionate missionary, and it offers a unique perspective on the history of Christianity in Africa. Overall, ""Life on the Ocean or Memorials of Captain William Robinson"" is an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, missionary work, or the life of a sailor in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
