Book excerpt: Excerpt from Virginia Presbyterianism and Religious Liberty in Colonial and Revolutionary Times Repeatedly asked, during the last seven months, to produce a sketch of the services of Presbyterians during Colonial and Revolutionary days to the cause of religious liberty, this little book is the writer's response. It has been his steadfast desire to claim nothing more for Presbyterians than was warranted by objective fact; and, notwithstanding the limits of space fixed by his publishers, to acknowledge, at least in general terms, the highly important services of other forces. He should acknowledge here the free use he has made, in preparing this paper, of Foote's Sketches of Virginia, Brigg's American Presbyterians, Rives' Life and Times of Madison, William Wirt Henry's Life, Correspondence, and Speeches of Patrick Henry, etc., etc. He owes thanks, also, to the librarians of the Virginia State Library, who kindly and courteously gave him access to the rich treasures of that institution, including many original manuscripts, copies of which were verified before their incorporation into this work. With the hope that it may conserve the interests of truth, he sends this little book forth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
