Excerpt from History of the Christian Religion: To the Year Two Hundred
This volume is the result of an investigation, extending through several years, and instituted for the satisfaction of the author.
Two years of the time were spent in the Library of Congress, which is peculiarly rich in the department of Biblical Literature. It contains the writings of all the earlier fathers, in the original, and an immense collection of the works of later writers.
The intent to publish was formed upon ascertaining facts and arriving at conclusions which appeared of great importance, and which had never before been fully made known.
To the accomplished Librarian, who furnished the author with every facility for the prosecution of his work, and gave him much valuable information, he returns his sincere thanks; also to the assistant librarians, for the promptness with which the treasures of the Library were from time to time placed at his disposal.
It is believed that this will be found to be the most complete record of the events connected with the Christian religion during the first two centuries that has ever been presented to the public.
