Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut, From the Settlement of the Colony to the Death of Bishop Seabury, Vol. 1
MY purpose to write the early History of Episco pacy in Connecticut was formed many years ago, when I began to gather materials with a view to its accomplishment. I found no sufficient leisure to eu 'ter upon my design, and use and work into shape these materials, until the close of 1863. Then, amid the excitements of the day, and the attraction of pop ular themes, I renewed my acquaintance with subjects reserved for quiet study, and made deeper and more thorough researches than I at first intended. Diffi cult points presented themselves for treatment, and my investigations led me to consider and examine topics hitherto approached with fear and trembling.
