of Georgia, of the Moravian Church, and of the Wesleys,
Steven's History of Georgia, Hamilton's History of the Moravian Church,
Levering's History of Bethlehem, Pa., Some Fathers of the American
Moravian Church, by de Schweinitz, Strobel's History of the Salzburgers,
Tyreman's Oxford Methodists, and Wesley's Journal have been most largely used.

it is here employed throughout, old style dates being translated

for courtesies extended while the author was examining
the invaluable collection of papers entrusted to his care,
and also for his supervision of the copying of such documents
as were selected; to Mr. Isaac Beckett, of Savannah, for information
respecting the Moravian lands; to Mr. John Jordan, of Philadelphia,
for copies of deeds and other papers relating to the settlement;
to Mr.
