Excerpt from American Presbyterianism: In Its Development and Growth This volume gives the results of years' patient reading of records, collection of facts and figures, and comparisons of periods and of denominations. The writer cannot here mention all the Church histories and historical sketches that he has laid under tribute. He may say, however, that all the published official records of our Church from the beginning and from year to year, and the National Census reports by decades from the beginning, have been minutely studied. Especially has the just-published volume, on the churches, of the census of 1890, been largely used. That volume is a wonderful revelation. The writer hopes that he has made a little volume that will be a thesaurus for permanent reference, and not merely a pamphlet for present reading. It would have been easier to make it four times the size: his desire has been, by condensation, to provide a vade mecum for convenient use. It should be noted that wherever figures are given for "last year, " or "now, " the date is 1895. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
