"These papers appeared originally as articles in the Southern Churchman ..."--Preface.
The Colonial church was easy-going as regards doctrines and life, and yet it left its impress on the generations it served. There were churches built in good taste and served by parsons who were scholars if they were not religious enthusiasts. That they were over-fond of fox-hunting and sometimes took a bit too much wine is true, but as they were also the schoolmasters they were perhaps entitled to a little relaxation. A man who preached on Sunday and buried and married, as well as taught six days in the week, was pretty busy. The parsons were farmers besides. -- Introduction.
The work in hand is an annotated, alphabetical list of about 2,000 clergymen of colonial New England. The annotations furnish such useful genealogical information as place and date of birth and death, names of parents, college of matriculation, date of ordination, religious denomination, names of parishes, with dates in which livings were held, and a variety of similar matter. Also included is a complete list of colonial New England churches.
