Excerpt from American Baptist Register, for 1852 Tm: main object of this work is to present to the world the statistics and localities of the Baptist Churches in America. These churches being independent, united simply by the fellowship of a common faith, and not by any inter-ecclesiastical government, recognizing no central synod or assembly to which reports are due, it has not been easy to gather returns from every part of our wide land.
