Excerpt from The Life of the Rev. John Emory, D. D: One of the Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church
If any shall consider him rash in attempting what one of greater experience had declined, he would plead, in further justification, the fact that, in the progress of the work, papers which had been thought useless were found to add some facts, and throw light on others, so that the materials proved to be more ample than was at first supposed. Still it has been a source of embarrassment to the author, and doubtless will be one of regret to the reader, that Bishop Emory did not keep a full and regular journal of his life. His apology and our consolation must be, that the time which this would have consumed was not wasted in idleness, but was scrupulously devoted to what he conceived to be, and what probably was, more important business.
Wherever it was practicable, the communications of others, and extracts from Bishop Emory's own writings and correspondence, have been introduced in preference to original matter. This course has, in some instances, interfered with the unity and symmetry of the composition, but it has been adopted in the belief that whatever it might detract from the literary merit of the author, it would add to the fidelity of the biography.
