Contributions to the Ecclesiastical History of the United States, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Contributions to the Ecclesiastical History of the United States, Vol. 2
When the volume on Virginia was published, the hope was ex pressed that other religious denominations would direct their at. Tention to the preservation of their respective histories. Whether the suggestion then made produced any effect, the author has no means of knowing; but within a recent period he has, With much pleasure, seen it announced that the public might expect the ap pearance, ere long, of the history of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. If well executed it will be a valuable addi tion to our historical literature.
But the object more particularly in view, in the present allusion to this subject, is the performance of an act of justice on the part of the present writer. In the enumeration made, in the preface to his former volume, of books connected with our own Church history, there was an omission of the labours of a brother in the ministry, who has now gone to his rest. The Rev. Dr. Dalcho of South Carolina, had published a volume full of inter. Esting facts and valuable materials for a history of that diocese; and the present writer had been indebted to it for some of the information he used in his volume on the Virginia Church. As he may be called to follow his departed brother, before another Opportunity is afl'orded him of publicly doing justice to the labours of Dr. Dalcho, he avails himself of this opportunity to say that the omission of his book was entirely undesigned. It arose from accident, and when he discovered it too late for cor rection, no one lamented it more sincerely than he did. Dr. Dalcho's work is one full of authentic information, collected by means of the most patient and laborious research.
