Excerpt from India and Christian Missions

In preparing these pages for the press, I intended neither to write a large nor an elaborate book. In pleading the cause of Missions in various parts of England, I was struck with the large number of persons who felt greatly interested in the progress of Christianity in India, who knew comparatively little, in a definite form, of the country as a field for missions, yet who were quite prepared eagerly to accept of all the information that could be given them. It is for such that this volume is designed.

It has been my aim, in conjunction with this leading missionary purpose, to give as much information as possible - without seriously digressing from the subject in hand - respecting the character, and the social as well as religious state of the people of India.
