Excerpt from My Father Braddock: Being the History of the Trials, Sufferings, Sacrifices, and Wrongs, of This Good Old Man and His Family in the Methodist Itinerancy Reader - I take pleasure in recommending to your attention the accompanying book, written by the Rev. J. Smith, A. M., M. D., a gentleman of titles and great celebrity, whose reputation, in fact, belongs to two hemipheres. The book purports to contain a history of "The Labors, Sufferings, Sacrifices, and Wrongs of my good Father Braddock and his family." The hero of this book - if such he may be called - does not represent any particular individual, but a large class of men who are engaged in the active work of the ministry in the M. E. Church, who may read in the lines that trace the fortunes of "My Father Braddock, " what, in all human probability, will be their own ultimate destiny. The design of the author is to exhibit a life-like picture of the practical workings of that vast machinery called the Itinerancy. That much good has been accomplished through the instrumentality of Methodism, the most prejudiced mind must be compelled to admit, that we have now reached a crisis, when altered circumstances imperiously demand some modifications of the system, is apparent to every intelligent observer. "A froward retention of custom is as turbulent as an innovation, and they that reverence old times too much, are but a scorn to the new."
