Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Second Edition. Octavo; xii, 456p. Original purple blind decorated cloth, very neatly rebacked. VG copy. ***** Robert Young (1796-1865), Wesleyan minister, was born on 14 November 1796 near Ryton, County Durham, England, son of practising Methodists. Early in 1820 he was received by th…e British Conference of the Wesleyans as a missionary candidate. He was ordained on 9 November and appointed to Kingston, Jamaica, where he showed preaching and administrative abilities. One of his sermons, A View of Slavery in Connection with Christianity, was published in Jamaica in 1824. He was in Nova Scotia in 1826-29 and visited the United States of America, but returned to England in 1830. In 1837-44 he published a series of religious tracts and ministered until 1852 in British circuits, 'where his zeal was tempered by sound judgement and unsual self-control'. In 1852 the British Conference appointed Young and Rev. John Kirk as a deputation to visit Australasia to examine the feasibility of uniting the missions of New Zealand and Polynesia with the Australian Conference as a separate, self-supporting body. Unseaworthy ships separated them and Kirk returned to England. Young went on alone and after a voyage marked by delays, gales and fire, he arrived at Port Adelaide in the Adelaide on 4 May 1853. He preached in the Pirie Street Methodist Chapel and continued to Melbourne where he took notice of 'the substantial edifices of worship' and immigrants at the Wesleyan Home in Drummond Street. Amazed by the spread of Methodism in the colony, he preached several times in the Collins Street chapel to over 1000 people, three-fourths of whom 'were interesting young men'. On 11 June Young arrived in Sydney where he was met by Wesleyan ministers and Rev. W. B. Boyce. At a tea meeting in the York Street chapel solidarity between Methodists in Britain and Australia was affirmed and he found support for the deputation's objects. On 20 July he attended a meeting of the Australasian Board of Missions and later spoke at Windsor, Richmond and Parramatta, everywhere collecting statistics. At the District Meeting on 29 July the New South Wales Wesleyan ministers approved the constitution of the Australasian Conference proposed by Young. In September he left for investigation and talks with Methodists in New Zealand, Tonga and Fiji. Young returned to Sydney and Melbourne, spent Christmas Day on the Victorian gold diggings and travelled to Van Diemen's Land before returning to England in 1854, well satisfied with the Australasian Conference's ability to be financially independent. In eighteen months he had travelled 40,000 miles (64,374 km). On 3 April Young reported favourably to the British Conference at Birmingham on his assignment and on 9 August the plan for a 'distinct and affiliated connexion' for Australasian Methodism was signed. He published a record of his travels, The Southern World (London, 1854), and two years later the conference elected him as its president. For the next six years he ministered in London and Newcastle. In 1860 paralysis forced Young to become a supernumerary; with his large family he retired to Truro, Cornwall, where he died of exhaustion on 16 November 1865. (ADB).

First edition. 24pp. Modern tan cloth, lettered in gilt to spine. Original publisher's printed mauve upper wrapper bound in. Extremities a trifle rubbed and marked. Bookplate of Nottingham Public Libraires to FEP, with their occasional ink-stamps throughout, wrapper worn. 'Breathes there a man who questions the righteousness of…our cause? Is there a man who would bid our sword return unsprinkled to its scabbard? Is there a man in all Christendom, who would bid us stand still? Then let him look down the well in the barrack yard of Cawnpore!' The second located copy of an impassioned sermon preached by Methodist minister Robert Newton Young (1829-1898) on the occasion of a day of humiliation appointed to mark the atrocities committed against British soldiers and citizens - particularly the Massacre at Cawnpore - during the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857. Young, adamant that the Mutiny was the result of the government of India sanctioning 'idolatry' and 'popular superstition', references other contemporary military tragedies to demonstrate British resolve, notably the recently concluded Crimean War: 'The cavalry charge at Balaclava was doubtless such a passage of arms as seldom falls to the historian to record; Inkermann was the modern Agincourt. British valour was doughty and incomparable as ever; but it cannot be forgotten that the most magnificent army that ever left our shores melted away like the snow-drift'. OCLC records a single copy (Miami); COPAC adds no further. Size: 8vo.
