Excerpt from Susanna Wesley and Other Eminent Methodist Women IN compiling the lives of holy women that appear in the following pages, the writer has found material as abundant in some cases as deficient in others. So much attention and research have been devoted to the elucidating of almost every point relating to the noble Susanna Wesley, that the lack of any contemporary record is hardly felt; Dr. Adam Clarke in his Wesley Family, the Rev. John Kirk in his Mother of the Wesleys, and Mrs. Eliza Clarke in her exhaustive little volume contributed to the Eminent Women Series, having supplied almost all that can now be hoped in illustra tion of Mrs. Wesley's life and character. The well-known writings of Mrs. Fletcher and Mrs. Rogers are also sufficiently full of incident and of autobiographic information.
