Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Ann's Church, (Brooklyn, New York) From the Year 1784 to the Year 1845: With a Memorial of the Sunday Schools St. Ann's was for more than forty years the only Episcopal. Cbarch in Brooklyn; and of the Churches of the same Communion that have since arisen within our horders, her members have been the chief founders, or have greatly assisted in the organization. Three of her eleven Rectors have been made Bishops over important Dioceses. She has long been as a city set on a liilf as to privileges. A goodly company have confessed within her fold the faith of Christ crucified, and some who made this confession half a century ago are still spared to kneel at her altars and enjoy her ministrations. The instruction which her Sunday Schocds provide, evinces her care for the young; and her comparatively liberal contributions to Missionary and kindred objects have caused very excellent things to be spoken of her. A knowledge of these circumstances led to the supposition that there might be some points in the history of this Church which, if wrought into a connected narrative, would be of interest to those who had at any time belonged to the parish. With a view to an attempt of the kind, application was made to the Rector, about two years since, to ascertain what materials the records of the Church would supply. These were found on investigation much less complete than was hoped, aflbrding but little that could be used beyond a list of communicants, and that very defective, or altogether wanting, in the period preceding the year 1800.
