Notes
From Payne's History of the AME Church: "His first publication was entitled 'The Rock of Wisdom,' and was issued in 1834 (1833). The New York conference wisely censured him for it, and forbade its republication. A far more appropriate epithet would have been 'Rock of Folly'" - quote found in National Union Catalog.
