Philadelphia: Joseph Crukshank, 1791. Hardcover. Stated 7th edition. Small 8vo, 6.5 x 4 inches, contemporary calf, good with general light wear and rubbing, loss to one corner, contents good to very good, some dampstaining tidemarks, tanning, darkening and foxing, slight loss to lower outer corner of front flyleaf, ownership signature of a Basil Prather from 1797 on verso of rear flyleaf. iv, 222 pp. Early copies of the Methodist Discipline for Americans are extremely scarce in the trade. The first printing was in 1785. Coke convened the organizing conference for American Methodism at Bal­timore, Maryland, in 1784 and, with authorization from Wesley, ordained Francis Asbury and consecrated him joint superintendent. Through nine subsequent visits to the growing church in the United States, Coke symbolized the unity of Methodists on both sides of the Atlantic, al­though he had continual disputes with Asbury over church policies. They agreed, however, to make a stand against slav­ery, threatened slaveholders with excommunication, and presented an antislavery petition to President George Washington at Mount Vernon in 1785. Good. Item #H33309
