His best-known works, which went through multiple editions and are held by hundreds of libraries, are: * God against slavery : and the freedom and the duty of the pulpit to rebuke it, as a sin against God. New York: . 1857. * The guilt of slavery and the crime of slaveholding, demonstrated from the Hebrew and Greek scriptures. Boston: John P. Jewett. 1860. Edgar Allan Poe famously remarked on Cheever: "He is much better known, however, as the editor of The Commonplace Book of American Poetry, a work which has at least the merit of not belying its title, and is exceedingly commonplace".
