In answer to the question, How is it that the history of the Church in these United States has been written by a Prelate of the Church in England We may be answered, that the Opportunity afforded in England, to consult the works of the earlier writers upon America and the correspondence of the earlier missionaries to America, has been embraced by the Author and most laboriously improved.

It was Mr. Wilber force's general practice to support the King's govern ment whenever he was able; and on this ground he now disclaimed at once all intentions of systematic Opposition. He wished too, as far as possible, to conciliate their sup port in the approaching Abolition struggle; and greatly to the annoyance of many of his friends supported Lord Henry Petty in the contest tor the representation of the University of Cambridge, which followed the death of Mr. Pitt.
