Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Separation of Church and State in Virginia: A Study in the Development of the Revolution; Special Report of the Department of Archives and History This work, begun shortly after my coming to the library, was at first outlined as a brief monograph on the religious petitions, but it grew inevitably to its present size and scope, as a survey of the whole subject was found requisite for a proper degree of completeness. The first three chapters are introductory in nature. The history of the colonial church cannot be written until the county records and parish registers have been examined in detail. No need exists for a further treatment of the dissenting churches. Foote, McIlwaine, Graham and Johnson have told the story of the Presbyterians, and Semple, Leland, Howell, Benedict, Thorn and James have done the like for the Baptists. But there was room and a good deal of available material for a comprehensive study of the politico-religious question as it existed in the Revolutionary period, and the present work is an attempt to deal with this phase of Virginia history. I am indebted for corrections and suggestions to Dr. H. R. McIlwaine, the Librarian, himself an authority in the same field, and to Mr. William G. Stanard, of the Virginia Historical Society.
