Excerpt from Memorials of the Early Progress of Methodism in the Eastern States: Comprising Biographical Notices of Its Preachers, Sketches of Its Primitive Churches, and Reminiscences of Its Early Struggles, and Successes The present volume, relating to a more recent part of our history, will be found more abundant in incident, and it is hoped more satisfactory throughout. Some of its charac ters, however imperfectly delineated, are examples of the truest human and Christian nobleness; and it has been no small relief to the peculiar difficulties of the author's task, to know that his feeble labors were serving to reinstate before the eye of the church the heroic evangelists who founded its great and still developing destinies, but who, not by the want of eminent merit, but the infelicity of their times, have had scarcely any record in the church.
