Excerpt from The Story of the L. M.S: 1795 1895 His book makes no pretension to be a full and detailed history of the London Missionary Society. A work, on a scale worthy of the subject, is in preparation, and may shortly be expected from the competent hands of the Rev. R. Lovett. It is the hope of the present writer that such an interest in the story he has tried to tell may be awakened by reading this volume, as will lead many to study Mr. Lovett's history who otherwise might not have done so. To enumerate all the writers to whom the author has been indebted for information regarding the various fields of labour would be impossible. Not being able to name all, he adopts the safer policy of naming none. In the Summary, however, will be found a list of notable contributions to English literature in connection with the work of missionaries of the London Missionary Society.
