Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Presbyterian Church of Paterson, New Jersey When the town of Paterson was founded, in 1792, there was but one church within the limits of the present city - the First Reformed Dutch Church of Totowa, commonly known asthe Old Dutch Church of Totowa, erected in 1755 in what is now Ryle avenue, just south of Matlock street. The services were in the Dutch language. The First Presbyterian Church was the earliest congregation organized in the town after 1792. In the following pages much of its history and polity can be ciearly traced. The minutes Of the Board of Trustees have been printed verbatim from the original records, with which the proofs have been compared as the printing progressed. The Miscellaneous Documents have been collected from var ious sources, but most Of them are in the archives of the church. The Session minutes have been carefully transcribed from the originals; where extracts only are given, they present every act of the Session not merely formal. The writer has accumulated material for a History ofthe Church, which he hopes to publish at no distant day. In the meantime the Records herewith presented are of permanent value. And the accompanying notes will, it'is hoped, add to their interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
