Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Reformed Church in the United States: 1725-1792 The present volume is the culmination of years of search. The author´s previous volumes on the history of the Reformed Church of Germany were gathered in seeking to find the material for this volume. In 1893, at the suggestion of Rev. Dr. Corwin, the distinguished historian of the Dutch Reformed Church, the author was led to write to Amsterdam to know what records of the German Reformed Church in this country were there. But the price demanded for copying them was so high that the matter was dropped. In 1895 the author visited Amsterdam and arranged to have the Amsterdam correspondence copied, but was somewhat disappointed at getting only two of the missing coetus´ minutes. In 1896, at the suggestion of Mr. Henry S. Dotterer, of Philadelphia, he visited the archives at the Hague, and there found the missing coetus minutes, together with a multitude of other correspondence. As far as he knows he was the first minister of our denomination to see these treasures at Amsterdam and also at the Hague. Afterward with the aid of his esteemed colleague, Rev. Prof. W. J. Hinke, he was able to get these manuscripts copied. The same kind of search was made in Switzerland, Germany and England with surprising results, until we can reasonably say that most of the early history of our Church is clear.
