Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Antiquities of the Parish Church Hempstead: Including Oysterbay and the Churches in Suffolk County, Illustrated From Letters of the Missionaries, and Other Authentic Documents In 1701, some members of the Church of England formed a "Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts." Their Missionaries were required to report to the Society once a year, or oftener, the state of their several Missions. This volume contains so much of their correspondence relating to Hempstead as has been procurable: for which privilege the compiler is indebted to the kindly influence of the Rev. George Williamson Smith and the Rev. Dr. Drowne, and the obliging courtesy of Bishop Perry, the custodian. This Venerable Society held its annual meetings in London, and published abstracts from the Reports of its Missionaries. Some of these letters seem to have been subsequently lost or mislaid; for in the collection made by the Rev. Dr. Hawks many letters used in making out the Society´s Annual Reports are not now to be found. These printed abstracts are now, however, all incorporated in the present volume with the Rev. Dr. Hawks´ unabridged transcripts; and they shed additional light on the obscurity of the early history of the Hempstead Church. After the first selection of these letters had been printed, my generous publisher, Mr. Lott Van De Water, like a true son of the Church, allowed me to go over the field again for a second gleaning. Hence the letters do not follow in a chronological order; but as the topics are quite independent of each other this will cause little inconvenience. Though Mr. Thomas served the parish over twenty years, all remembrance of him had so faded out that his name does not appear in the list of Ministers inscribed, in 1823, on a marble tablet in the church. Some extracts from his correspondence and that of the succeeding Missionaries were published for the first time in 1841, by the Rev. Dr. Carmichael, in "The Rise and Progress of St. George´s Church." The Rev. Dr. Moore, the eleventh Minister of this ancient Parish, has for some years been gathering materials for a more connected, full and complete history of the Church, brought down to the present time, which it is hoped may see the light at no distant day.
