Book Description

Excerpt from Memoirs of British Female Missionaries: With a Survey of the Condition of Women in Heathen Countries "British Female Missionaries" have, especially during the last forty years, most beautifully illustrated the power, the benevolence, and the divinity of our holy religion. The edifying "Memoirs" of their truly honourable and useful lives have, however, been very sparingly given to the public; scarcely any of them being extensively known to the friends and supporters of Missions to the Heathen, except, perhaps, those of Mrs. Ellis, Mrs. Stallybrass, and Mrs. Wilson. Judicious persons regard those remarkably instructive pieces as deserving to be universally read, and as forming some of the most valuable specimens of "British Female Biography: " they are by no means inferior, and in some particulars they even surpass, those delightful Memoirs of Mrs. Newell and Mrs. Judson, the devoted American Missionaries.
