Bibliographical Note.

A number of books and monographs have been published on the history of the Baptists, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Methodists, Moravians, and Presbyterians in North Carolina, but the authors have in most cases confined themselves to the growth and development and the inner life of the denomination. Little attention has been given to their relations to other denominations or to the State.

The question of Church and State has been discussed from the Presbyterian standpoint by Rev. E. W. Caruthers, in his Life of Rev. David Caldwell, D. D. (Greensboro, 1842); by Rev. L. C. Vass, in his History of the Presbyterian Church in New Bern, North Carolina (Richmond, 1886), who gives a résumé of ecclesiastical affairs in eastern North Carolina; and from the Episcopal view by Rev. Joseph Blount Cheshire, in Church History in North Carolina (Wilmington, 1892). The principal materials used in this paper were The Colonial Records of North Carolina (10 vols., Raleigh, 1886-1890), the Laws of North Carolina (Revisals of 1752, 1765, 1773, 1791), Elliot’s Debates (Washington, 1836), the Debates of the Convention of 1835 (Raleigh, 1836), and the manuscript records of the Monthly, Quarterly and Yearly Meetings of the Friends, now in the care of Josiah Nicholson, Esq., Belvidere, North Carolina, and of Prof. J. W. Woody, Guilford College, North Carolina.
