Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of the Rev. Robert R. Roberts: One of the Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church The following narrative is a work of no great pretensions, as far as the authorship is concerned. The reasons are the following. Whatever talent the author possesses, as a writer, it does not properly comprise the qualifications necessary for a good biographer. Besides, while preparing this volume, he had the regular duties of editor to perform, which necessarily interfered with the close attention requisite for such an undertaking. It is, also, rather hastily got up, and must, therefore, partake of the defects of all hasty publications - to which class most of the works written in this age properly belong. The author ought to have had sufficient time to re-compose the whole; but this was impossible under existing circumstances; and, therefore, his half-prepared book must be issued just as it is. The principal reason why this unpretending volume is thus given to the public is, that the writer could not promise himself any leisure in future, even should his days be lengthened, to do more justice to the life of his venerable friend. It is, moreover, probable, that if he had not undertaken what is now imperfectly done, no other person, for want of inclination or time, would have attempted it at all. The Methodist Episcopal Church seems to have been very unfortunate in reference to her two senior Bishops, Asbury and M´Kendree, in not having the lives of these venerable men written for the benefit of posterity. This consideration has had great influence in inducing the writer to undertake the present work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
