Book Description

Excerpt from Pages From the Ecclesiastical History of New England: During the Century Between 1740 and 1840 These Pages originally appeared in the Episcopal Observer. They were copied into other periodicals; and their republication in the present form, has been requested. The design with which they were written, was to present a historical review, rather than a history. Such a review must contain facts, may imply opinions, and cannot but involve inferences. The facts which are contained in these Pages are either generally familiar, or else preserved in printed documents, - numerous, - though often ephemeral. The opinions which are implied, relate to subjects on which no Christian can desire disguise. The inferences which are involved, are as much with the reader, as with the writer.
