Excerpt from A Brief Sketch of the Early History of the Catholic Church on the Island of New York The materials for the following brief sketch have been gathered from Mr. Campbell's inter esting History of the Life and Times of Arch bishop Carroll, o'callaghan's History of the New Netherlands, Bishop Connolly's Journal, the columns of the truth-teller and Freeman's Journal, some historical notes amongst the manuscripts of the late Bishop Brute, and communications from Mr. J. G. Shea and others Who have made researches in this field of history. Though believed to be accurate as far as it goes, it does not pretend to be a full and complete history of the rise and progress of Catholicity on the island, but rather an attempt to call attention to the subject. Many are still living Who could furnish from their own knowledge interesting details in regard to events which have occurred since New York was made an Episcopal See; and others have in their possession letters and documentsviii Preface to First Edition.
