The Experience of Sampson Maynard, Local Preacher of the Methodist E. Church : to which is prefixed, an allegorical address to the Christian world, or, a thimble full of truth to blow up the world of error.

This work by Devon-born methodist preacher Maynard Sampson combines an account of the author's life, with particular focus on how he came to be a member of the church, with a long sermon in the form of an 'allegorical address'. The autobiography includes a description of the Sampson's seven-year service as a sailor in the Royal Navy during the American Revolutionary War, engaging both American and French forces.
