Excerpt from A History of the Baptists in the Middle States This history is founded on original sources. Second-hand authorities on the subject are few, incomplete, and untrustworthy, and there was noth ing to do but seek and study the original documents. The task was the more difficult because the path was practically unbroken. There was from the first no lack of materials, but nobody had ever under taken to sift and combine them. There were no successes of predecessors to emulate, no blunders to profit by; all had to be done for the first time. That it is done as it should be done, as it might be done, is not claimed. The author is sure of but one thing: that he has worked with diligence, and a faithful effort to tell the story truthfully, without so overloading it with details as to make it confusing or wearisome. Some one who shall undertake the task in future years, with documents in the mean time accumulated, will avoid the mistakes of this book and make a far better.
