Excerpt from History of Wesleyan Methodism in Burnley and East Lancashire: Burnley, Colne, Padiham, Nelson, Barnoldswick
The important position which Methodism has taken in East Lancashire called, in the opinion of the author, for some permanent record of its origin and progress. Nearly twenty yeais ago he began to collect materials for such a book, never dreaming that he himself would have the responsibility of publishing it. The fathers of Method ism have, however, passed away so rapidly that it was felt that, if the the opportunity were not seized, not only would the advantage of living memories be lost, but many of the records would be dispersed beyond recovery, and the compilation of a satisfactory record become impossible. As the work proceeded, this was found to be already in some measure the case; and an amount of time and labour, never contemplated, has been spent in the collection of the historical data that are the basis of a work of the kind.
