Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Notices of the Missions of the Church of England: In the North American Colonies, Previous to the Independence of the United States: Chiefly From the Ms. Documents of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts If it must be admitted that the Church of England is not rich in Missionary annals, there can be no difficulty in accounting for the deficiency. For more than a century after the Reformation, our Church was so much engaged in maintaining its position against the pretensions and intrigues of Rome, as to have little opportunity for making aggressions on Heathenism. Then came the Civil War, in which the National Church itself was put under an interdict; and when this tyranny was overpast, a flood of licentiousness came in with the Restoration; and the shock which was thus given to religion by a reaction from the austerity of one period to the excesses of another, may serve to account for that spirit of indifference so general in this country at the period of the Revolution, a spirit which continued to prevail, more or less, till the commencement of the present century. These were serious obstacles in the way of Missionary enterprise. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
