Here is the title Of one Of the most valuable con-
tribulions to the historical literature Of our State,
which has ever been made. Under the unpretend-
ing, but very appropriate name Of Sketches, DIR.
FUoie has presented 10 the public specimen of ex-
actly what The public ought to know, and which
many have long desired TO know. Tire work does
not claim to be- History in the proper sense of the
word; no more could it he called Annals With an
Introductory chapter it supplies us summary of
the most reliable facts, CLEANED from documentary,
traditional and other touching our colonial
state, from the settlement at jamestown TO 1858 -
The author then restricts himself 10 "Sketches" of
the events and men connected with The rise and
early progress Of Presbyteriansm in the State, de-
voting considerable portions of the most prominent
to an Illustration Of their conneSion with the srug.
giles for religious liberty for nearly century, and
their important contributions 10 its successful estab-
ishment. No friend or member Of that Church
can read the documentary evidence and we-s's-
tanned Evolutionary authority for The genuine palrl'
otism of his ecclesiastical ancestry here afforded,
without glow Of pleasure. Such documents as
the Memorials Of Hanover Presby,ery, on the sub
jet of religious liberty, the letters and diaries OF
Davies, and the papers illustrating the establish
ment of the Presbyterian Church in Hanover and
cries of all friends Of our excellent State Institutions.
But while DR.. F. has been true to his purpose
in furnishing illustrations and memoirs Of The Pres
byterian Church, he has no where exposed himself
to the charge of ilberality. He is careful to pre-
sent full and authentic evidences Of the zeal Of The
Baptsts--their snfferings and success in the same
great cause. Following DR.. Hawks as authority
for the statements affecting the character of the
lonial ecclesiastical establishment. while attesng
its abuses and corruplions he permits no language
to escape him which can be construed as rejecting
on the character OF pure branch of protestant chris
tendon, independent of the unhalowed union with
the civil authorities. which, in the opinion of civil
ians. the customs Of the day rendered expedient.
