Excerpt from A Concise History of Foreign Baptists: Taken From the New Testament, the First Fathers, Early Writers, and Historians of All Ages My Young Christian Friends, The reason for the following work is soon assigned. While on a visit to a friend in Somersetshire, in 1823, a minister of the Independent persuasion panegyrized Dr. Carey to me and others, as the individual who raised the Baptists out of obscurity, and further remarked, "that they had no existence before the days of the Commonwealth." The respectability and age of the minister did not allow me, a young man, and unacquainted as I was with our history, to negative his assertion, only by a relieving hint, "'that from the days of John the Baptists, until now, ' I believed our denomination had had an existence. I was resolved to be satisfied on this subject, particularly since this assertion has appeared in print, but there was no volume to which I could be directed, that would meet the inquiries and solicitude of my mind. Mr. Ivime'y work was of the English Baptists, Mr. Crosby's was of the same character, Mr. Danvers enters into the question, but gives no historic connexion.
