Excerpt from A History of the Protestant Episcopal Church: In the United States of America Ilistory of the American. Episcopal Church, which is as full of wisdom as of wit. The History of the American Church, by Bishop Wilberforce, of Oxford and ter, is valuable in its account of the colonies, and is re markable throughout as the production of one who never visited America. Ilis unfamiliarity with our republican ia stitutions, however, makes his account of the constitutional period of less value. Canon Anderson's History of the Church of England in the Colonies, in three volumes, is more full and instructive than \vilberforce, and the Digest of the Records of the Venerable S. I'. G. Is invaluable as a source of information concerning our colonial eccle siastical history, while The Colonial Era, by Professor G. L'. Fisher, D.D., of Yale University, gives a clear and impartial view of the early political events which so vitally tfl'ected the life of the church.
