I am not aware that any book on Indian Missions has achieved signal success. I do not think, however, a single one has been written in vain.

These books may have received little general attention; but here and there, as the result of their perusal, there has been a more intelligent apprehension of our work, deeper sympathy with us, and heartier support rendered to us
