Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Antiquities of the Parish Church Hempstead: Including Oysterbay and the Churches in Suffolk County, Illustrated From Letters of the Missionaries, and Other Authentic Documents
In 1701, some members of the Church of England formed a Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts. Their Missionaries were required to report to the Society once a year, or oftener the state of their several missions. This volume contains so much of their correspondence relating to Hempstead as has been procurable: for which privilege the compiler is indebted to the kindly in?uence of the Rev. George Williamson Smith and the Rev. Dr. Drowne, and the obliging courtesy of Bishop Perry, the custodian.
