Journals
George WhitefieldPrinted in parts, 1738–1741
The journals that the preacher George Whitefield published of his voyages and preaching tours. The seventh covers his tour of New England in the autumn of 1740, day by day, with his own estimates of the crowds.
Whitefield printed his journals in parts soon after the travels they describe. They record where he preached each day, how many he thought were present, whom he met and what he felt. The seventh part includes Boston in September and October 1740 and his visit to Northampton, where he preached for Jonathan Edwards.
The numbers are his own estimates. See the Great Awakening.
