1. BAPTIST
Asplund, John. The Annual Register of the Baptist Denomination in
North America ... to Nov. 1,1790; containing an account of the
Churches and their Constitutions, Ministers, Members, Associations,
their Plan and Sentiments, Rule and Order, Proceedings and
Correspondence. Worcester, 1791-94.
Backus, Isaac. A History of New England with Particular Reference to
the Denomination of Christians called Baptists. Newton, Mass., 1871. 2
vols.
This edition by D. Weston includes Isaac Backus' prefaces to vol. i,
finished 1777; vol. ii, 1784; and vol iii, 1796.
This contemporary writer is regarded as an authority, as much of his
work was founded upon the court, town, and church records and upon
the minutes of ecclesiastical councils. He searched diligently the
records of Plymouth, Taunton, Boston, Essex, Providence, Newport,
Hartford and New Haven. The book has a chronological record of the
Connecticut churches. It is very discursive.
Benedict, David. A General History of the Baptist Denomination in
America and other parts of the world. Boston, 1813.
