Excerpt from Historical Researches: In Western Pennsylvania, Principally Catholic I, in common with many others, have long felt that far too little interest is manifested in collecting and preserving the records of the past, especially among Catholics. In the beginning of the Church in this country the number of the clergy, upon whom this work would naturally devolve, was so small, and the field of their labors so 'ex tensive, that little time could be expended, on any other than their strict ministerial duties; and even now, when their numbers have greatly increased, their labors are scarcely less arduous. To some persons, too, this work does not seem of much importance. But to be convinced of the error of such a view, it is only necessary to ask ourselves, what would not the nations, cities and dioceses of old Europe give for a complete detailed history of their past? Yet it is buried in an oblivion from which the patience and industry of man labor in vain to rescue it. These nations began their political anm religious existence at a time long anterior to the invention of printing, and all that is known of them are the meagre details that have been. Preserved by the industry of a few writers at distant'intervals. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
