Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of the Parish of Trinity Church in the City of New York, Vol. 5 The fifth volume of the History of the Parish of Trinity Church in the City of New York carries it to the end of the rectorship of the Reverend Morgan Dix, D. D. It thus remains for a subsequent volume to bring it forward through the incumbencies of the Right Reverend Dr. William T. Manning, the Reverend Dr. Caleb R.Stetson, and its present rector, the Reverend Dr. Frederic S. Fleming. With the intent of having the fifth volume appear around the time of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Trinity´s founding, a committee to provide for its writing and editing was appointed, consisting of John A. Dix, warden (son of Dr. Dix), and the vestrymen Charles W. Gerstenberg and John A. Gade. To this committee was later added the Reverend Dr. Leicester Crosby Lewis, vicar of Saint Luke´s Chapel of Trinity Parish. John A. Dix was entirely responsible for the first draft of the manuscript, but he was called to the larger life on October 1, 1945. After his death, his labors were carried on and most fortunately concluded by Dr. Lewis, with the assistance of the two remaining members of the committee. By the death of Charles W. Gerstenberg, on September 15, 1948, the committee was robbed of his valuable collaboration. The galley proofs of this volume lay on Dr. Lewis´ desk when he too joined the many devoted servants of Trinity whose career he had traced in so scholarly a manner. Leicester Crosby Lewis gave of his best to this book, at a time when his strength was fast failing. It remains as a triumphant proof of his last mental and literary ability.
