Note 265 — Chapter II
Reading edition
Alexander Blaikie’s Hist. of Presbyterianism in New England, Boston, 1881,—a book unskilful in literary form and unwise in spirit. A far better book is Chas. A. Briggs’s Amer. Presbyterianism, its Origin and Early History, New York, 1885,—a book showing more research than any of its predecessors. Cf. also Chas. Hodge’s Constitutional Hist. of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. (Phil. 1851); Richard Webster’s Hist. of the Presbyterian Church in America to 1760 (Phil. 1857); E. H. Gillett, Hist. of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. revised ed. (Phil. 1864), etc.
