Biographies of five, largely-forgotten, figures from the 18th century rise of the Evanglical Movement: George Thomson (1698-1782), James Rouquet (1730-1776), Captain Jonathan Scott (1735-1807), David Simpson (1744-1799), and Thomas Pentycross (1748-1808). The section on Simpson is especially extensive, comprising nearly half the total text of the book. Despite my fascination with the time period and its happenings -- and my delight in encountering more prominent early evangelicals (George Whitefield, William Romaine, Augustus Toplady) -- I found the book curiously uninvolving. Seems to be well-researched and documented. Perhaps it might have benefited from an editor who could have assisted in tightening the occasional ramble and eliminating the occasional repetition?
