Excerpt from Boston Revival, 1842: A Brief History of the Evangelical Churches of Boston, Together With a More Particular Account of the Revival of 1842 It Was a remark of President Edwards, that nothing tended mor'e to promote the work ofgrace among his people at Northampton, than to tell them what God was doing in other places If oral narratives produced this effect, then may we expect that written narratives will accomplish the same purpose. With a desire to honor God, and advance the interests of his kingdom, Edwards Wrote and published a work entitled Surprising Contrera sions at Northampton. Mr. Whitefield, before he came to this country, read this narrative, and was deeply inter-a asted in it. This induced him to visit Edwards, that he might see and converse with the man by whom God had wrought Such wonders. If Edwards judged it expe dient in his day, to collect and publish facts concerning the revival at Northampton, We shall not be thought to undertake a needless Work, if we shall attempt to gather up the history of the revival that took place in this city during the last winter and spring.
