which it is proposed to apply the Centenary contributions are set forth on page 339, at the end of this book. The Committee confidently expect generous donations will be added to the sum already raised as a consequence of the information imparted through this memorial volume. Mission House, WILLIAM RICHARD RICKETT, Treasurer. 19, Furnival Street, London. PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. THE Committee are thankful a demand has arisen for a second edition of this volume; and would take the opportunity afforded by its issue to express their gratitude for the response which has so far been made to their appeal on behalf of the Centenary Fund; and would further express their hope that not only may the £100,000, the sum contemplated, be secured, but that also, the annual income of the Mission, may be very considerably increased, such increase being absolutely required to maintain the proposed extension of the Society's operations. |
