Swiss American Historical Society Review

Representing· the first volume of the English translation of the correspondence of the Patriarch of American Lutheranism, this work contains 69 items to and from HMM in the time period of 17 40-4 7. Although accessible in a recent German edition (Die Korrespondenz. Heinrich Melchior Mühlenbergs: Aus der Anfangszeit des deutschen Luthertums in Nordamerika. Berlin: Walter de Gruyter, 1986- ), this work is nonetheless a significant contribution to our understanding of the German-speaking element of the 18th century, which will be extraordinarily useful to the general reader as well as to scholars.
