[72] A Journal of the Life of Thomas Story: containing an Account of his remarkable Convincement of and Embracing of the Principles of Truth as held by the people called Quakers: and also of his Travels and Labours in the Service of the Gospel: with many other Occurrences and Observations. Newcastle-upon-Tyne, printed by Isaac Thompson and Company, at the New Printing Office on the Side. MDCCXLVII. Apart from the light under which everything is seen, this book is a perfect repertory of facts on the moral and religious condition of our country at the period. There are innumerable sketches of persons and places of mark all over North and South, given with a transparent naiveté and occasional raciness of wording that is very taking. Story continued to be received on the most friendly terms by the Gilpins, and by sons and daughters after Dr Gilpin himself was dead. Cf. pp. 470-473.
[73] It may be well to give in a foot-note Story’s account of another and later visit to Dr Gilpin:—‘The same evening I visited Dr Richard Gilpin, formerly mentioned, having still a great respect for him and all his family. He was an eminent physician and preacher among the Presbyterians at Newcastle; to which place he had removed from Cumberland after the Revolution. And with him also I had some discourse about matters of religion; in which he discovered more passion and prejudice than became his high profession or years, and could not bear any contradiction. But I advised him to beware of that spirit, for it wanted mortification: and this I did in a calm and respectful mind, which reached the better part in him, and brought it over the evil; and then I left him in a loving temper. For though he was naturally high, and the most eminent and celebrated preacher of that profession in the North, and from his very early days deeply prejudiced, and almost envious, against Friends, yet he heard me with more patience—though that was little—than he ever did any other.’—P. 100.
[74] By the favour of Mr Nichol I have had one hundred large-paper copies of this edition of ‘Dæmonologia Sacra’ thrown off—quarto: and prefixed is the portrait of Gilpin, and a fac-simile of a portion of this manuscript.
