"Cheatham's prefaces are in diogenes vein, curt and caustic, he escapes from the category of manual makers., and takes rank as one of the original writers on the sport. he is indebted to his forerunners but acknowledges it; he improves on their systems and calls attention to the fact. He is never servile nor plagiaristic always honest, sometimes a little surly" Westwood and Satchell 60
