Reading edition
Charles Wesley, in a letter dated the 3rd of March, 1749, says: “I spent half-an-hour with my brother at Kingswood, which is now very much like a college. Twenty-one boarders are there, and a dozen students, his sons and pupils in the gospel. I believe he is now laying the foundations of many generations.”—Watchman, Feb. 18, 1835.
