The number of his publications will scarcely be credited by those who are not familiar with them, especially when we consider the amount of time he spent in traveling and preaching, and the urgency of his engagements, both of a public and private nature. He wrote and published grammars of the Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French, and English languages. He was for many years editor of a monthly periodical of fifty-six pages, known as the _Arminian Magazine_, requiring the undivided attention of any ordinary man in these times. He wrote, abridged, revised, and published a library of fifty volumes known as the _Christian Library_, one of the most remarkable collections of Christian literature of the times. He subsequently reread and revised the whole work with great care, and it was afterward published in thirty volumes--a marvel of excellence and industry. He published an abridgment of Mosheim's _Ecclesiastical History_, with important additions, in four volumes. He published an abridgment of the _History of England_, in four volumes. He compiled and published a _Compendium of Natural Philosophy_, in five volumes. He arranged and published a collection of moral and sacred poems, in three volumes. He published an abridgment of Milton's _Paradise Lost_, with notes. He published an abridgment of Young's _Night Thoughts_. He wrote and published a commentary on the whole Bible in four large volumes, but the portion on the Old Testament was rendered almost worthless by the abridgment of the notes by the printer in order to get them within a given compass. He compiled a complete dictionary of the English language, much used in his day. He compiled and published a history of Rome. He published selections from the Latin classics for the use of students. He published an abridgment of Goodwin's _Treatise of Justification_. He abridged and published in two volumes Brooke's _Fool of Quality_. He wrote a good-sized work on electricity. He prepared and published three medical works for the common people; one entitled _Primitive Physic_ was highly esteemed in the old country. He compiled and published six volumes of church music. His poetical works, in connection with those of his brother Charles, are said to have amounted to not less than forty volumes. Charles composed the larger part, but they passed under the revision of John, without which we doubt if Charles Wesley's hymns would have been what they are--the most beautiful and soul-inspiring in the English language. In addition to all this there are seven large octavo volumes of sermons, letters, controversial papers, journals, etc. It is said that Mr. Wesley's works, including translations and abridgments, amounted to more than two hundred volumes, for we have not given here a complete list of his publications. To this must be added:
