from Sketch of Early Ecclesiastical Affairs: In New Castle, Delaware, and History of Immanuel Church
The early history of Immanuel Church, running back, as it does, into the seventeenth century, has been but little known, and it required much research, here.
And there, to gather the facts which make up this book, It has been my desire to write a true and entirely relia ble history, Through publications made in recent years by the State'of New York many data relating to the early history of New Castle have come to light and the publication by Bishop Perry of the documentary history of the London Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, relating to Delaware and Maryland, has been a source from which I have derived much that is of interest.
Besides Bishop Perry's valua ble work, I have drawn upon o'callaghan's History of New York, Brodhead's History of the State of New York Documents
relating to the Colonial History of the State of New York, vol.
Hazard's Annals, Journal of George Keith, Missionary, Hill's History of the Church in Burlington Sprague's Annals of the American Pulpit Acrelius' History of New Sweden, Volumes A and B of New Castle County Records, etc.
The New Castle County Records are especially valuable for their historical contents, and our Legislature Should secure the preservation of these books by having them printed.
They will be of increasing value as the time to which they refer becomesmore remote, and the people take greater interest in colonial history.
Volume C of these. Records has been lost, or destroyed, and so is gone forever the record it contains of a very important period of the history of New Castle County, a, the early years of Penn's proprietorship.
There is still wanting for a complete history of New Castle a translation of the papers relating to the colony while it belonged to the city of Amsterdam.
The records are preserved by the city of Amsterdam, and the time will come when the value of those documents will be appreciated and copies secured by our State.
