HISTORGoGRAPuER OF THE CHURCH.
Judge j. Thompson Brown, from the
committee appointed at the last Council re-
specting the appointment of historic
grapher Of this diocese, submitted the foi-
lowing report, which was read: + &.
Fully appreciating the importance Of an
accurate history Of the diocese from its
Eorigin onward continuously, in the future,
your committee deem the first aud most
necessary steps towards it to be the colec-
toa and preservation Of the material for the
work and placing it within the control OF
the person who is to compose the history.
In this work attention should at once be
given to the county and corporation courts,
Of the oyerseers Of the poor, and the regis
tors Of the parishes between the original
erection OF the Colonial governments in the
State and the. peace between the mother
country aud the Colonies. ?.
