Présentation de l'éditeur
Having been honored with the appointment of Secretary to the Southern Board of Missions, the compiler sought to qualify himself for the station by searching the records of past years, in quest of missionary intelligence. He was richly rewarded for this toil by the diversified facts that were found to illustrate, in ample profusion, the various features of the missionary enterprize. He was not unwilling to receive the suggestion of throwing together in this manner a body of anecdotes or illustrations of Christian missions. The following statements are not vague and unauthenticated stories, that have acquired bulk and embellishment in passing from hand to hand, till they are fitted only to amaze the credulous. They are traced in all instances to a respectable source, and are made public as facts deserving entire confidence.
