Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Missionary Subjects I put forth in a collective volume the Four Parts of my Notes on Missionary Subjects; but each Part is complete in itself, and as each treats upon a special portion of the subject, may be acceptable in that form to persons, who do not require the whole work. There is a full Index to each Part. These Notes come from the pen of a sincere, and experienced, friend. Their object is to lay down first, principles, point out serious errors of practice, denounce what is positively wrong, and suggest what appears to be the better way. Free from any bias of Nationality, Denomination, or shade of Religious thought, the Author is entirely fearless of criticism, and welcomes all honest differences of opinion. If the errors described can be proved never to have existed, so much the better. If a better way can be indicated, it is well. If a bad policy is abandoned, it is a subject of congratulation. The human side of Mission-work is peculiarly human. In secular administration the strong hand of the Governor at once puts a stop to the extravagancies of a subordinate. But the powers of a Bishop are constitutionally limited. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
