THE MISSIONARY PROBLEM (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from The Missionary ProblemHE following chapters were prepared for publication in another form, and have already had a large circulation. The favourable reception which they met with from the Mission ary Press, and the request of many friends that they should be given to the public in a more per manent Shape, have induced the author to revise and reprint them. They are intended to supply a want that has been long felt, namely, a concise yet comprehensive Sketch of the rise and progress of Protestant missionary effort in heathen coun tries, from a purely undenominational standpoint. A great deal has already been written on this subject, but chiefly in the form of biography, or the record of individual experience in given fields, or of missionary work carried on by particular societies or sects.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
