Excerpt from Genesis of Churches: In the United States of America, in Newfoundland and the Dominion
The writer of these pages does not aspire to enter the domain of Church History. His endeavour has been only to ascertain as accurately as possible the origin, and, in a general way, the progress, to a limited extent, of the churches and congregations herein dealt with.
In prosecuting his investigations, he has derived information from many sources. Elaborate Church Histories have been carefully studied, and a large amount of periodical literature laid under tribute. The "Schatt-Her-zog Encyclopedia," New York, 1888, in four volumes, edited by the late Dr. Philip Sehaff, has furnished much of the information respecting churches in the United States; and Castell Hopkins "Encyclopedia of Canada," Toronto, 1898, in five volumes, has been useful in what appertains to the Canadian Churches. The historical sketches in both of these standard authorities were contributed by well-known and well-informed representative ministers of the respective denominations.
