Sketches in City Churches is a book written by John Ross Robertson and published in 1886. The book is a collection of sketches and descriptions of various churches located in cities across the United States and Canada. The author, who was a newspaper publisher and philanthropist, visited these churches and documented his observations of their architecture, history, and religious practices.The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on churches in the United States, including New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago. The second part covers churches in Canada, including Toronto, Montreal, and Quebec City. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific church and includes detailed descriptions of the building's exterior and interior, as well as the history and significance of the church in its community.Throughout the book, Robertson provides insight into the religious and cultural landscape of the late 19th century. He describes the various denominations and their practices, as well as the social and political issues that were prevalent at the time. The book also includes illustrations and photographs of the churches, adding to its visual appeal.Overall, Sketches in City Churches is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion and architecture in North America. The book provides a unique perspective on the churches that shaped the cultural and social fabric of their respective communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
