The author's original intent was to preserve the memories of the Philadelphia clergy. However, "the search led into the history of the Swedish clerby, and, as Pennsylvania and Delaware were united in Provincial days, the book naturally widened out to include both ... Most of the articles here collected appeared in The Standard of The Cross and The Church, edited by Rev. Messrs. French, and published in Philadelphia..." Topics discussed include the Swedish clergy, Bishops of Pennsylvania, Christ Church, St. Peter's Church, St. James Church, St. Paul's Church, Trinity Church (Oxford), Church of Epiphany, Bishops of Delaware, and Delaware clergy. The appendix is comprised of brief biographical sketches of Rev. Dr. John Andrews, Rev. Dr. Frederick Beasley, Rev. Dr. George Boyd, Rev. Dr. Gregory T. Bedell, Rev. Dr. J. A. Clark, and Rev. Dr. James Montgomery. Numerous portraits and charming illustrations of churches enliven these pages. A new full name index is a bonus for researchers.
