Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Kafir, the Hottentot, and the Frontier Farmer: Passages of Missionary Life From the Journals of the Venerable Archdeacon Merriman
Wherever Archdeacon Merriman is known, he cannot fail to be appreciated. His entire self-forgetfulness and tender consideration for others, - his frankness and straightforwardness, - his lighthearted cheerfulness and simplicity of character, - his frugal yet generous hospi tality, - his energy, decision, determination, have won for him the respect and admiration of many in the land of his adoption. If they who have been witnesses of his zeal, ardour, and devotion, in his Master's cause, are not themselves elevated in tone and feeling by their intercourse with such a m an, they will have much to answer for.
It remains only to observe, that if any, from the perusal of these Journals, should be moved to desire to help forward the work in which the Archdeacon is more immediately engaged, they can do so by contributing, at the Office of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, 79, Pall Mall, to the albany fund, which is en tirely at his disposal.
