Excerpt from History of the Revisions of the Discipline of the Methodist Episcopal Church The volume affords a mass of materials for a history of the Discipline, rather than the history itself. The language of the statutes, with various explanatory clauses, is given in full; but the parts are so separated that the sense is often obscured. The extracts have to be-reconstructed men tally, or, in case of extended passages, on paper, before the reader is able to perceive the real nature of the change. In other words, the reader, after being furnished with the data, is required to construct the history himself, often at no small inconvenience, especially when in haste.
