Note 302 — SECOND VISIT TO AMERICA.
Reading edition
In the Pennsylvania Gazette, a newspaper published by Franklin, appeared the following notice, November 15, 1739:—
"The Rev. George Whitefield having given me copies of his Journals and Sermons, with leave to print the same, I propose to publish them with all expedition, if I find sufficient encouragement. The Sermons will make two volumes, and the Journals two more, which will be delivered to subscribers at two shillings for each volume, bound. Those, therefore, who are inclined to encourage this work are desired speedily to send in their names to me, that I may take measures accordingly."
