This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Thomas Bradbury Chandler was born on April 26, 1726 in Woodstock, Connecticut, United States, where, on his father's farm, he spent his early years. He was the eldest of the ten children of Capt. William and Jemima (Bradbury) Chandler.
Entering Yale College he came under the strong Episcopalian influence that had clung to the institution since 1722 when its first president, Timothy Cutler, had publicly announced his doubt of the validity of Presbyterian ordination and had joined himself to the Church of England. In 1753 he received the degree of M. A. from the University of Oxford and was admitted to the degree of D. D. in 1766 and 1767 at Oxford and Columbia respectively.
After his graduation in 1745 Chandler taught school at Woodstock for two years, at the same time reading theology under the guidance of the Rev. Samuel Johnson, first president of King's College. In 1747 St. John's Church at Elizabethtown, being deprived by death of the ministry of the Rev. Edward Vaughan, called Chandler to its service. He accepted the invitation, and being yet too young for ordination undertook the duties of lay reader and catechist. Four years later he went to London to receive orders, returned to Elizabethtown, and long served St. John's Church and adjacent missionary stations with ability and devotion. His refusal to allow George Whitefield to speak in his church in 1763 caused resentment and division within his flock, but in spite of many defections he would not compromise. The clergy of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania delegated him as a leading advocate of American episcopacy to prepare a plea for the sending of bishops to America, and in 1767 he published An Appeal to the Public in Behalf of the Church of England in America, which provoked wide controversy. He also wrote An Address from the Clergy of New York and New Jersey to the Episcopalians in Virginia (1771). Although he had advised the repeal of the Stamp Act, he was as ardent a Loyalist as churchman, and the events of the next few years moved him to vigorous protest against the drift toward revolution. In 1775 appeared his pamphlet What Think Ye of Congress Now? which was a spirited attack upon the authority and actions of the Continental Congress. The occurrences of April 1775 were too much for his Loyalist fervor and he departed for England the following month. During the next ten years he labored for the family he had left behind him, for his destitute brethren, and for an American episcopate. Returning in 1785 he rejoined his family in St. John's rectory, but failing health would not permit him to undertake any but the lightest parochial duties, nor to accept elevation to the episcopate of Nova Scotia, an honor tendered him in 1786. He died at Elizabethtown, June 17, 1790, and was buried in the church whose minister he had been for forty-three years.

In 1750 he married Jane M. Emott of Elizabethtown, by whom he had one son and five daughters.
