“There is no section of the Presbyterian Church on the
Western Continent, whose history has been more eventful or
interesting than that planted in Kentucky. The project of
perpetuating the memory of its early incidents has been enter-
tained by several able and distinguished divines ; Dr. John P.
Campbell, the Rev. John McFarland, the Rev. William L.
McCalla, and Dr. Thomas Cleland ; but the task has hitherto
remained unaccomplished. Dr. Bishop's " Outline," though
containing a mass of interesting matter, is not a connected
history, and professes nothing beyond the preservation of ma-
terials for a successor in the field.
“The work now offered to the public is the fruit of nine
years' laborious research during the intervals of professional
cares, oftentimes sufficiently arduous and perplexing. In one
respect at least, Horace's rule has been partially complied with;
viz : waiting for " the ninth rip'ning year." Not only has the
author travelled, like Scott and Alison, in quest of truth, and
like Froissart, conversed personally with the actors in the great
drama of the past; but he Tias. enjoyed facilities, providentially
put in his way, of no ordinary value. The Diaries of the Rev.
John Lyle were just on the point of being committed to the
flames as waste paper, when they fell into the author's hands,
through the friendly agency of the Rev. Robert Stuart.
“In looking over the contents, which were seen at a glance
to be of inestimable importance, the following paragraph came
to light. " The foregoing short sketches were written hastily
for private use ; and should I die before I destroy them, I
would not allow my friends to hand them about, or any one
to use them, except some judicious friend might make an
extract of those few particulars which might be useful in
writing a history of the progress of religion in Kentucky."
Hereupon the author claimed a warrant for retaining the pre-
cious MS., provided his venerable friend would vouch for his
coming under the category of being the “ judicious" person
required. This Diary, kept during the height of the great
revival of 1800-1803, has proved an invaluable document,
and will be frequently referred to.”
