Excerpt from The Early English Colonies: A Summary of the Lecture; With Additional Notes and Illustrations Delivered at the Richmond Auditorium, Virginia, October 4, 1907

The greater part of the following manuscripts were copied in order to facilitate the Bishop of London's labour in preparing his work for his visit to America, and the mss. Notes were taken there. They also are only part of a greater number examined by the Bishop before the journey commenced.

When the Bishops of America asked by the letter from the Convention for the Bishop of London's Speech, which was delivered from the notes and documents quoted herein, the Bishop requested the author to put the whole into shape as far as possible in order to illus trate the standpoint, rather than attempt to reproduce the words which were used on that occasion. To do this, in the first place, there is the outline of the Bishop of London's Lecture, and the documents quoted are copied to illustrate it. Some of these - as, for instance, the Bishop's Commission from King George - have been already reproduced in the Press in America, but where they were thought worthy of more permanent shape they are included. In other cases similar documents which might throw fresh light on the love of the Mother Country, and the efforts of the Church of England for the colonies, and for the English overseas, have been included, so as to answer more fully the request of the Bishops of America, in spirit rather than in the letter.
