Excerpt from Universalism in America, Vol. 1: A History Something more than a quarter of a century ago, the author began to collect material for this work. His progress has been slow, and much of it has been attended with difficulties which those who have had no experience in historic research will fail to understand. The original sources of information, especially in the earlier years of our history, have been meagre, and scattered in many public and private libraries, to reach which has required personal examination. Limited both in means and time, the author has found it difficult to carry on these investigations as rapidly as was desired. Hence the delay in preparing these pages for the public eye. The present volume, as will be seen, attempts to tell the story of the progress of Universalism to the close of the eighteenth century, and to state the different phases of the Universalist faith up to that time, It has also aimed to give what biographical information could be obtained concerning the early defenders and supporters of that faith, and it is matter of deep regret that so little information can be found in regard to so many of these worthy men. It is hoped that no unnecessary delays will prevent the early completion of the work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
