Wesley Corpus

Its size reflected the desire to get a short and inexpensive collection in print for emerging Methodist worship in Ireland. The selection and minor editorial revisions made in the collection most likely reflect the hand of Charles Wesley, but this cannot be established for certain. Whoever shepherded the production of this shorter selection, it was not reprinted. Rather, in 1749 Powell issued a Dublin edition of Collection of Hymns (1742), an even shorter selection of hymns from HSP (1739) that the Wesley brothers had previously cooperated in producing for use among poorer Methodists.
