Synopsis

This book is a detailed history of the First Presbyterian Church in Princeton, New Jersey. The author, Horace G. Hinsdale, traces the church's origins back to the founding of Princeton in 1724, and follows its development through the American Revolution, the 19th century, and up to the time of writing in 1888. Hinsdale draws on a variety of sources, including church records, sermons, and personal memoirs, to provide a rich and nuanced account of the church's life and ministry. He pays particular attention to the role of the church in the community, its involvement in social and intellectual movements, and its contributions to the Presbyterian denomination. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion in America, and it offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a small town church over the course of several centuries.
