William Martin Wilkinson (1814-1897), an English Swedenborgian; editor of the Spiritual Magazine and secretary of the London Spiritualist Union.
This book "is an attempt to analyze [revivals], as phenomena of the mind, apart from the religious views of the converts; and thus to conciliate both philosophy and religion, and to recognise in Revivals possibilities of the highest import for humanity, when they shall be better understood." - Notice to the Second Edition.
