About this title

Synopsis

The Baptists In America: A Narrative Of The Deputation From The Baptist Union In England To The United States And Canada (1836) is a historical book written by Francis Augustus Cox. The book describes the journey of a deputation from the Baptist Union in England to the United States and Canada in 1835-1836. The deputation consisted of three men - Francis Augustus Cox, Joseph Hoby, and John Howard Hinton - who were sent to investigate the state of the Baptist church in America and to promote closer ties between the two countries.The book provides a detailed account of the deputation's travels throughout the United States and Canada, as well as their meetings with various Baptist leaders and congregations. It also includes observations on the state of religion in America at the time, as well as discussions on topics such as slavery and the role of women in the church.Overall, The Baptists In America offers a fascinating insight into the history of the Baptist church in both America and England during the mid-19th century, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion in the United States and Canada.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
