This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ... hearers, and the society afterwards flourished under his care; he died in 1725. At a very early period the Nonconformists of Ilmiuster, which, like those in most other places, called themselves Presbyterian, provided themselves with a place of worship. The first house of prayer was probably small; but the number of Mr. N. Marshall's hearers warranted the erection of another building, which was accomplished in the year 1719.
