Book Description

Excerpt from Reminiscences, Historical and Biographical, of Sixty-Four Years in the Ministry Fob many years, and by many persons, including bishops, editors, and others, I have been importuned to publish the substance of my records and recollec tions of the Methodism of my day. It was judged that my great age, my intimate relations with Bishop Asbury, and my acquaintance with other pioneers and fathers of the Church, would enable me thus to preserve much desirable information which would otherwise soon be forgotten. In 1847 the New Jersey Conference took action on the subject, and appointed a committee to confer with me in respect to my journals and other papem, and aid in preparing them for publication. The com mittee was a very competent one, but the members were too widely separated for any effectual result. I had concluded to abandon the design, and this volume would probably never have seen the light had not the Rev. J. B. Wakeley come to my help.
