Présentation de l'éditeur
Chinese-speaking aborigines of Formosa. Two hundred and fifty years ago they were in full possession there, although many of their villages acknowledged allegiance to a colony of Dutch traders who established themselves in the neighbouring little island of Tayoan. That was a prosperous time with the natives of Formosa, for not only did the recently opened trade bring many material advantages, but quite a new world began to unfold itself before them under the influence of those Dutch pastors who came to labour for their intellectual and spiritual good. At least three of the local dialects were reduced to writing, chapels and school-houses were erected in every village under Dutch control, and very marked improvement of the public manners was followed by thousands of the people being welcomed into the membership of the Christian Church. The circumstances which led to the arrest of this hopeful movement cannot be fully stated here.
