Excerpt from A History of Bristol Parish: With a Tribute to the Memory of Its Oldest Rector, and an Appendix, Containing the Epitaphs of Some of Its Early Officers and Friends But it is to the illustration of the Church history of Virginia, that our plan is limited. Tis true, that the history of the church in Virginia, has already been writ ten in a luminous and masterly manner. The well known work of Dr. Hawks, we regard as among the most valuable contributions to American ecclesiastical history. It is a work, whose authenticity, candor, and elegance of diction, have already won for it a place among the American classics, and which entitle it to one in the library of every gentleman in Virginia. But rich as is the harvest, which Dr. Hawks has reaped in the field of his labors, there are some gleanings left, which an humble follower may gather and bind into sheaves, which he hopes will prove an accept able offering to his brethren in Christ. There is a great deal of rough material scattered throughout the diocese, in the Clerks' offices of the counties, in paro chial records, in manuscript letters and diaries, and other like depositories, which ought to be collected and embodied in a permanent ferm, before they sink into the illegible dust, into which so many of them have already mouldered. Again, there are many curious details, into which the general historian cannot descend, and yet there are those to whom they are exceedingly interesting These should be preserved and made accessible to those who take pleasure in them.
