The second volume of letters in The Works of John Wesley, this text spans the years 1740-1755. "This is the second of the seven volumes devoted to Wesley's correspondence.  It presents details about more than a thousand letters by three hundred persons, over four hundred being printed fully, and over three hundred by means of brief quotations, or by clues to their contents or purpose.  Almost two-thirds of the published letters are from Wesley's own pen.  Most of the remainder fill in the background or outcome of his letters, though a number have been selected for some other special significance.  More than one-fifth of the letters by Wesley are not available in Telford's edition.  The great bulk of the letters as a whole are presented in a carefully verified text (often for the first time) from the original holographs or other primary sources.  Footnotes to all Wesley's out-letters introduce his correspondents, elucidate references, and identify the sources of his frequent quotations.  The in-letters are annotated much more lightly.  The appendix (continued from the previous volume), lists all the known letters written or received by Wesley during the years 1740-55, along with details about the location of the text, whether in this volume or elsewhere."

Sadly neglected today, Frank Baker (1908-1983) was an intriguing and highly original author of fantasy and horror fiction, best known for his post-apocalyptic novel of an avian attack, The Birds (1936), which may have been an influence on Hitchcock's film, and Miss Hargreaves (1940), a classic in which two young men invent a story about an unusual old woman only to discover that they have actually brought her to life.   First published in 1983 and long unavailable, Stories of the Strange and Sinister collects ten of Baker's short stories and displays the versatility of his work. Included are wonderfully macabre tales like 'The Chocolate Box', in which a discarded box found on a Cornish moor contains a gruesome surprise, and 'In the Steam Room', where a man enjoying a sauna believes he glimpses a horrible event through the steam, as well as more subtle tales of the fantastic like 'My Lady Sweet, Arise', in which a woman's compulsion to sing ends with strange consequences, and 'Quintin Claribel', the story of a rude young man who must - quite literally - eat his words. This first-ever republication includes a new introduction by R. B. Russell. Frank Baker's The Birds is also available from Valancourt.  'Frank Baker is an unusual and appealing writer, at times quite similar to that grandmaster of the supernatural, Arthur Machen.' - Michael Dirda, Washington Post  'Baker's work contains some of the more memorable treatments and interpretations of ... supernatural themes.' - Encyclopedia of Fantasy
