Excerpt from Memoirs of Granville Sharp, Esq. I did not form an adequate idea of the task in which I was'about to engage. The most voluminous and diffuse documents were consigned 'to my care, from which I had to extract whatever might be thought useful to the public, and (what was far more difficult) in which, I was to discoverand trace a connected thread of Mr. Sharp's progressive actions through his long and important Jife. That such a task would be tedious, it was easy to anticipate. But it has been further protracted by causes which could not be foreseen, - by the suffering of repeated illness since the period when I first printed my Prospectus - of illness aggravated not unfrequently by an apprehension that, as the real cause of the delay could be known only to a few, I might suffer no slight imputation of neglect in theperformance of what I had undertaken.
