This volume serves as a comprehensive calendar and index for the American Colonial section of the Fulham Papers held within the Lambeth Palace Library. William Wilson Manross, a noted historian of the Episcopal Church, provides a systematic cataloging of correspondence and documents originating from the Bishop of London's jurisdiction over the American colonies. The work functions as a critical finding aid for researchers investigating the administrative and religious history of the British North American colonies prior to the American Revolution.

Historians and archivists regard this volume as a foundational reference tool for scholars specializing in colonial American religious history. The text is highly technical and serves primarily as a research instrument for those navigating the extensive Fulham Papers collection.
