American tears upon the ruines of the Greek churches. A compendious, but entertaining history of the darkness come upon the Greek churches, in Europe and Asia. Composed by an American. And published, partly to bespeak a more frequent remembrance of those (once) famous churches, in the prayers of the faithful afar off. And, partly, to suggest unto other churches, the advice and warning to be thence taken, that their candlestick, may not be removed out of its place. With, an appendix containing a relation of the conversion of a Jew, named, Shalome Ben Shalomoh.
