Excerpt from Catalogue of Books Relating To, or Illustrating the History of the Unitas Fratrum, or United Brethren: As Established in Bohemia and Moravia by Followers of John Huss, Overthrown and Exiled by Ferdinand II., Of Austria, Renewed and Reorganized Under the Auspices of Count Zinzendorf, and Now Generally Known as the Moravian Church

The collection of these volumes was prompted by a sentiment of filial regard for a Church of which my parents were members, and in which my earliest religious impressions were received.

Various causes have contributed to render this collection less complete than I once hoped to make it. Books much desired are absorbed in Libraries, and rarely offered for sale. Of late years, too, more gleaners have entered this field of inquiry; and distance from its more fertile portions has proved unfavorable to success. European Catalogues are, of necessity, the chief source of supply; and frequently, before these reach us, others, favored by proximity, step in and secure coveted volumes.
