Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Diocese of Hartford The rapid increase of the Catholic population of the New England States, together with his declining health, caused Bishop Fenwick to petition the Fifth Provincial Council of Baltimore (1843) for a division of his diocese.' In accordance with his request, a petition was duly laid before the Propaganda at Rome, with the result that on September 18, 1843, Pope Gregory XVI. Erected the See of Hartford, with jurisdiction Over the States Of Rhode Island and Connecticut. The first bishop of Hartford was Right Rev. William Tyler, D.D.2 Bishop Tyler and his successors resided at Providence until 1872, when that city was erected into an Episcopal See. Bishop mcfarland in that year took up his residence in Hartford. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
