Book Description

Excerpt from A Sketch of the History of the Presbyterian Church in Jamaica, L. I In the following pages the compiler has aimed at the greatest accuracy. He has also studied to be as brief as any thing like a satisfactory view of events, extending through more than one hundred and eighty years, would allow. He acknowledges himself indebted to the sketches left by Mr. Faitoute and Mr. Crane, and to manuscripts amounting to more than one hundred pages, relating principally to the early history of this church, kindly put into his hands by an antiquarian friend. He has been much assisted by the full and impartial outline of ecclesiastical affairs, in Thompson's History of Long Island, a book for which the author deserves well of the citizens of his native island.
