Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 34 At the close of the year 1828, Mr. Anderson sailed from Boston for Malta, under the special instructions of the Prudential Committee of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Two objects occasioned the mission of Mr. Anderson to Greece, as a special agent of the board. One of these objects was to confer with the missionaries to Syria, who had been driven from their stations by the political disturbances which agitated the Turkish empire, and who had taken refuge in Malta. The other was to ascertain, by authentic information collected on the spot, what kind of efforts it was incumbent on the board to make, for the. improvement of liberated Greece. The volume before us contains, in its first part, the narrative of Mr. Anderson´s tour of observation in the Peloponnesus and Greek islands, for the purpose of accomplishing the second object of his errand; and, in its second part, a digest of observations upon the territory, population, and Government of Greece, upon the state and prospects of education, upon the Greek church, and upon the measures to be pursued by Protestants, for the benefit of Oriental churches. We have no hesitation in pronouncing this unpretending little volume to be one of uncommon interest and sterling value. It is filled with authentic information.
