Excerpt from Past and Present: Or a Description of Persons and Events Connected With Canadian Methodism for the Last Forty Years About twelve years ago I was in the receipt, monthly, of the Ladies' Repository and Gatherings of the West; and felt myself much interested in the sketchy and memorial part of it. I naturally thought, "Why should not similar memorials be preserved of what God has done by the instrumentality of Methodism in Canada?" During that year, at several intervals of leisure, mostly at night, after being wearied out with severe studies, a few of the following sketches, substantially, were thrown off - although without any definite decision about publication in any form. My occupation of an invalid station, about eight years later, afforded me leisure to add a few more; when all of those which related to deceased persons in my reminiscences, to the number of twenty-six, were given to the public in the columns of the Christian Guardian, over the signature of "A Voice from the Past" - to test what reception matter of that description would receive. So far as I learned any thing about them, they were regarded with some favor. Relief from the full amount of pulpit work, about a year after, by the presence and labors, in my next station, of the Rev. James Caughey, gave me time to retouch them; the rest I had by me; and I then arranged them pretty much in the order they now assume, with the persuasion that some day they might see the light. Mr. C - encouraged me to have them published; still I hesitated, mostly because I thought they would scarcely make a sizable book.
