Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Missionary Sketches: A Concise, History of the Work of the American Baptist Missionary Union
These sketches were suggested by my friend Rev. Dr. Bright, of New York, and appeared in successive months in The Examiner and Chronicle. They were received with much favor, and I have been re quested by many whose judgment I respect, to gather them together into their present form. Each chapter is of proper length to be read at one sitting, or at a mis sionary concert; and each gives a concise View of a single mission. Within so narrow a compass, it was impossible to embrace every name, or interesting inci dent, Or succession Of events, or important detail. The work aims to be only What its title implies. I have revised the Sketches, and continued them to the present date. I lay the little volume on the altar of missions, and dedicate it to Him, to whom, in due time, every knee shall bow. S. F. S.for from the rising OF the sun unto the going down OF the same, MY name shall l3e great among the gentiles; and IN every place incense shall BE offered unto MY name, and A pure offer.
