A memoir of Mr. William Carvosso, sixty years a class-leader in the Wesleyan Methodist Connection", Written by Himself, and Edited by His Son. Pub. Carlton & Philips. 1853.(1837) FROM THE 10TH LONDON EDITION.ENGRAVED FRONTIS.
From chapter 1: " I was borne March 11, 1750, near Mousehole, in the parish of Paul, county of Cornwall. Of my father I knew but little. He went to sea, in a trading vessel, when I was very young, and was afterward taken by a press-gang, and put on board a man-of-war. He continued in the King's service many years, and died in Greenich Hospital......" Rev. C. W. L. Christien writes: �Born of obscure parentage, unendowed with any remarkable talent, destitute of the slightest pretence to early education, having no worldly wealth or status, scarcely once outside the borders of his native county, with neither call nor talent to preach, without a solitary earthly circumstance to make him great, William Carvosso yet stands forth in the history of the church as �a burning and a shining light.� His memorial is known wherever Methodism has found its way, and is one of those glorious careers which it would be a sin to bury out of sight.�
