Notitia Parochialis
“Parish Reports” sent by clergy in colonial America of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG) to the secretary of the society. These reports gave statistical information concerning their missionary work. Despite possible inaccuracies, these reports provide useful statistical evidence of the size and growth of the Church of England in the colonies.
