This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Jonathan Townley Crane was born on June 18, 1819 in Connecticut Farms, now a part of Union Township, New Jersey, United States. He was the youngest of the six children of William and Sarah (Townley) Crane. He was a descendant of Stephen Crane who, coming probably from England or Wales, settled at Elizabethtown as early as 1665. William Crane, who was a farmer, surveyor, and justice of the peace, died June 4, 1830, and his wife, August 18, 1832.
Jonathan graduated from the Princeton Theological Seminary in Princeton, New Jersey in 1843 and in 1844 was licensed to preach, after which he was admitted to the New Jersey Annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1845. Dickinson College conferred upon him the Doctorate of Divinity in 1856.
Crane spent as a preacher one year on the Parsippany circuit, six months on the Asbury circuit, six months at Port Richmond, Staten Island, and on Quarantine and was a pastor at Hope 1846, Belvidere 1847, and Orange 1848.
In 1848 he published an Essay on Dancing, the sentiments of which may have recommended him to the leaders of his church. In June he was elected principal of the Conference Seminary at Pennington. After ten years of being schoolmaster he returned to preaching as pastor of Trinity Church, Jersey City, 1858-1860; at Haverstraw, New York, 1860-1862; of the Central Church, Newark, New Jersey, 1862-1864; at Morristown 1864-1867; and at Hackettstown, 1867-1868.
Then followed eight laborious years as presiding elder of the Newark district, 1868-1872, and of the Elizabeth district, 1872-1876. After that he was pastor of the Cross-street Church, Paterson, 1876-1878, and of the Drew Church, Port Jervis, New York, from 1878 till his death.
Crane was the author of numerous contributions to the Methodist Quarterly Review and the Christian Advocate and of The Right Way, or Practical Lectures on the Decalogue (1853, 1857); and The Fruitful Bough: the Centenary Sermon preached before the Newark Conference, March 23, 1866 (1866). His style is chaste, well ordered, and economical, and rises on worthy occasions to a sober eloquence.
Crane helped to found the Centenary Collegiate Institute, now known as Centenary College, in New Jersey, in 1867 and a school in Port Jervis to serve the African American population. He was instrumental in establishing the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association in 1869. As a writer, he was best known for his work "Essay on Dancing " (1848).

In doctrine Crane was a strict Methodist of the old stamp, filled with the sense of God’s redeeming love, deeply concerned about such sins as dancing, breaking the Sabbath, reading trashy novels, playing cards, billiards, and chess, and enjoying tobacco and wine, and too innocent of the world to do more than suspect the existence of greater viciousness. Even his discussions of theatregoing, smoking, and drinking are strangely academic and derivative; probably he did not know intimately any one who had been defiled by those sins and was consequently unable to study their effects at first hand. In controversy he was gentlemanly, in his judgments charitable. Noah’s lapse from temperance principles he was thus able to excuse, “The Scriptures tell us that Noah planted a vineyard and on one occasion drank of the wine until he was drunken. Very possibly the process of fermentation had not before been noticed, the results were not known, and the consequences in this case were wholly unexpected. " He leaves the impression of an unusually noble mind straitened by dogma and a narrow education.
On January 8, 1848 Crane was married to Mary Helen Peck of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, daughter of the Reverend George Peck. Of his fourteen children the youngest, the darling of his last years, was Stephen Crane, who was to write the Red Badge of Courage.
