Excerpt from The Life of the Rev. John W. De La Flechere: Compiled From the Narrative of Rev. Mr. Wesley, the Biographical Notes of Rev. Mr. Gilpin, From His Own Letters, and Other Authentic Documents, Many of Which Were Never Before Published The editor is aware that he must chiefly ascribe It to the high esteem entertained by the public in general, and by the members of the Methodist societies in particular, for the character of the late Rev. Mr. Fletcher, and the great veneration in which his memory is held by them, that the former impression of this work has had so rapid a sale, and that a second edition is so soon called for. He is, however, happy to find, by the testimonies he has received from different quarters, that the manner in which he has been enabled to execute his office of com piler, has been highly satisfactory to Mr. Fletcher's friends, and to the readers of the publication in general.
