Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life and Correspondence of the Right Reverend Samuel Seabury, D. D: First Bishop of Connecticut, and of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America
Not only is Bishop Seabury identified with the Church in Connecticut: he belongs to the whole Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, and the interest, therefore, in his biography should be general, not local. No one who wishes to understand thoroughly the character of the men who, in our early ecclesiastical councils, held fast to great principles, and worked steadily and prayerfully for the union and consolidation of what appeared for a time to be opposing parties, will fail to appreciate this effort to bring out the in?uence of the first Bishop of Connecticut, and to present the main facts of his history in unbroken chronological order.
