Excerpt from The History of Wesleyan Methodism, in Grantham and Its Vicinity: With Preliminary Observations on the Rise, Progress and Utility, the Discipline and Doctrines of the Connexion, the Life of Its Founder, Etc It might be considered proper that some apology should be made for the step which he has taken in bringing forward his work to the public eye, as it probably would tend to soften down the asperity of criticism. To such apologies he is no friend, sensible even as he is of his own deficiencies, and of the can dour which this production of his pen will need from readers whose ability to judge of its merits is only of an ordinary er tent. If the reasons he asked why he undertook to send forth such a work, he will frankly acknowledge them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Historical Notices of the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, in Great Queen Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London: With a Brief Sketch of the Origin and Progress of the Society and Congregation The first part of the following sketch was prepared, at Midsummer, 1840, for the Trustees, who thought that the statements it contains might be useful in exciting the Congregation and Society to contribute liberally in raising 2000 towards the Repairs and Improvements which they were about to commence. The desired end having been accomplished, the Trustees now wish to preserve from oblivion the facts and dates which have been collected and verified, that they may be useful to others; they have added very minute details of their own recent proceedings. They do not forget that in a few years the duties which they now perform, must devolve on others; and if this record of the events which they and their fathers have seen and known, should produce in the minds of their successors as firm a conviction, as they themselves have, that the cause of Wesleyan Methodism is the cause of God, they believe, that, the necessary consequence must be, that they will gladly and zealously devote themselves to the duties committed to them.

Excerpt from The Rise and Progress of Wesleyan Methodism in Didsbury: A Paper When I undertook to prepare the following Paper, I did not anticipate its appearance in permanent form, and it is only in response to the solicitations of many friends that it is now published. I trust, however, that a perusal of this Record - imperfect though it is - of the past successes of Methodism, may serve as an encouragement to the workers in this portion of the Lord's vineyard, and stimulate them to further labours on behalf of our cause; in which case its publication will not have been in vain. To my brother, who has furnished the illustrations which lend interest to the Paper, and to those who have supplied me out of Memory's storehouse with their recollections of bygone days, I tender my warmest thanks. If I have omitted to mention any persons whose names ought to have found a place in a Paper such as this, the omission has been unintentional, and I must ask those who knew them to rest satisfied with the assurance that their record is on high, and that their "work shall be manifest, for the day shall declare it."
