In Gillies's Historical Collections, there is a very interesting letter from Davies to Bellamy, of which an extract will be here given. It is the only written account that we have met with of Davies's labors and success in the ministry, from the time of his settlement to the year 1751. This letter will give a favorable specimen of the liberal views of the writer. " Upon my arrival, I petitioned the general court to grant me a license to officiate in and about Hanover, at four meeting-houses, which, after some delay, was granted, upon my qualifying according to the act of toleration. I preached frequently in Hanover, and some of the adjacent counties; and though the fervor of the late work was considerably abated, and my labors were not blessed with success equal to thosd of my brethren, yet I have reason to hope thng were of service in several instances.. The the portunities they used with me to settle i mothem, were invincible; and upon my depfmmuthey sent a call for me to the Presbytery, greatI returned from Virginia, I spent near rational under melancholy and consumptive languishments, expecting death. In the spring-of 1749, I began slowly to recover, though I then looked upon it only as the intermission of a disorder that would finally prove mortal. But upon the arrival of a messenger from Hanover, I put my life in my hand, and determined to accept of their call, hoping I might live to prepare the way for some more useful successor, and willing to expire under the fatigues of duty, rather than in voluntary negligence.

From his death in 1761 through the American Civil War, Samuel Davies was a recognized name among American Presbyterians, yet for more than a century he has remained far more obscure in discussions of American religion. During the mid-Eighteenth Century, New Side Presbyterian evangelist and preacher Samuel Davies was a pioneer for religious toleration in Colonial America, yet to date no single work has examined Davies' vision for the interior life. Theology and Spirituality in the Works of Samuel Davies is the first monograph-length analysis of Davies' conception of Christian spirituality. After a decade of pastoral ministry to congregations in Virginia, Davies followed eminent American theologian Jonathan Edwards as the fourth President of the College of New Jersey (Princeton University), a tenure cut short by his early death at age thirty-seven. J.C. Harrod examines various aspects of Davies' own personal piety as well as the place that Scripture, conversion, holiness, and the means of grace played in his formulation of Christian piety.
