Excerpt from India, and India Missions, Including Sketches of the Gigantic System of Hinduism, Both in Theory and Practice: Also Notices of Some of the Principal Agencies Employed in Conducting the Process of Indian Evangelization The appearance of the following volume in its present form demands a few preliminary Observations. During the last four years, whenever health permitted, the Author has been in the habit of addressing mixed audi ences in England and Scotland, both from the pulpit and the platform, on the subject of Christian Missions. He has also largely enjoyed the inestimable privilege of advocating the same blessed cause before the Presbyteries, Synods, and General Assemblies of the Church Of Scotland. Of the Addresses delivered on different occasions, some have already been published by special request, and widely cir culated. Of the greater part, no written record ever exist ed, beyond the reports Of the public journals, and a few loose scattered headings or notanda, - intelligible to no one but the Author himself.
