Chapter XXIX: Appendix: (page 256)

At a meeting held in Leeds, 5th October, 1813, it was resolved to constitute a society to be called “The Methodist Missionary Society for the Leeds District,” of which branches were to be formed in the several circuits, whose duty it should be to collect subscriptions in behalf of missions and to remit them to an already existing committee in London. It was from this point that, by general consent, the origin of the Wesleyan Missionary Society is reckoned.

● Transcriber’s Notes:
○ Several footnote references just said “See Appendix.” without
specifying which (there are 15.) The references have been resolved
as well as was possible.
○ Some footnotes had no references to them in the text. These were
assumed to be additional material for the entire page, or pages,
and a reference was created.
○ Some index entries were reformatted to be more consistent with the
majority of the entries.
○ Missing or obscured punctuation was silently corrected.
○ Typographical errors were silently corrected.
○ Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation were made consistent only
when a predominant form was found in this book.
○ Text that was in italics is enclosed by underscores (_italics_).
