PREFACE
It is the purpose of the present volume to furnish within modest limits a simple and straightforward account of the great revivals and revival movements characteristic of our national religious history. For obvious reasons every revival and every individual associated with revival history could not receive mention. An effort has been made to give as complete a narrative of our revival history as possible.
In getting out a new edition of this work two chapters have been added on "Recent Revivals" and "Forward Movements." It is hoped that the value of the book may be enhanced by these additions.
