He had been one of the greeters of Thomas Coke who had arrived as Wesley's emissary to the new American Church. In 1789 he set up the with $600 of his own money and began to publish books and other literature. Methodist circuit riders from then on carried his materials on their travels and distributed them widely. His first book was Christian Pattern by Thomas à Kempis. He also published the Methodist hymn book, the Arminian Magazine and later The Methodist Magazine. In time his publishing concern grew into The Methodist Publishing House, which in the mid-twentieth century was the largest religious publishing house in the world. As the principal provider of literature for the growing Methodist movement, he must take a significant amount of credit for its growth into the largest American church by the mid 20th century. (en)
