Excerpt from The Life of Rev. Martin Cheney Two years ago last May, Mr. Cheney stated to me that, in answer to the repeatedly expressed wish of his brethren and friends, he was preparing some Auto-biographical sketches of his life, and endeavoring to put his papers into such a state as might somewhat facilitate the preparation of a Memoir, should it be called for after his death, and expressed a strong desire that I would consent to undertake the preparation of the work, unless providentially prevented. Mr. Cheney was my friend. Though never having enjoyed a very extensive personal intercourse with him, yet, in some sense, he had been my counsellor from the beginning of my christian life, and our acquaintance had ripened into strong confidence and affection. Unfitted therefore as I might have felt for such a task, I could not refuse to comply with his request, when I saw that his heart was strongly set on such an arrangement. In eighteen months from that time his public labors had closed, before he had completed his intended biographical sketches, or more than partially arranged his papers.
