A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

My Young Christian Friends, The reason for the following work is soon assigned. While on a visit to a friend in Somerset;shire, in 1823, a minister of the Independent persuasion panegyrized Dr. Carey to me and others, as the individual who raised the Baptists out of obscurity ;and further remarked, that they had no existence before the days of the Commonwealth. The respectability and age of the minister did not allow me, a young man, and unacquainted as I was with our history, to negative his assertion, only by a relieving hint, that from the days of John the Baptists, until noiv I believed our denomination had had an existence. I was resolved to be satisfied on this subject, particularly since this assertion has appeared in print; but there was no volume to which I could be directed, that would meet the inquiries and solicitude of my mind. Mr. I vimey swork was of the English Baptists; Mr. Crosby swas of the same character; Mr. Danvers enters into the question, but gives no historic connexion.
