Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Englishwoman´s Twenty-Five Years in Tropical Africa: Being the Biography of Gwen, Elen Lewis, Missionary to the Cameroons and the Congo In July, 1910, I was requested by the Committee of the Baptist Missionary Society to write the life of Mrs. Thomas Lewis of the Congo. I had shortly before arranged with Mr. Lewis to under take the work independently; but it accorded well with his feelings and my own that it should be done under the direction of the Society which Mrs. Lewis had served for five-and-twenty years. Unfortunately the final decision was not arrived at until Mr. Lewis was on the point of returning to Africa, having already sent forward his wife´s journals and papers. Consequently, in executing my task, I have missed the great advantage of consultation with him. Chapters III., IV., V., and VI. only have received his revision. When I asked him about materials, he replied: "If you can get hold of the Hartland letters, you will have almost all you need. Gwen wrote to one or other member of the family by every mail during all her missionary life, and told them everything about her work which was worth the telling." The Misses Lily and Alice Hartland were kind enough to place the Hartland Letters in my hands. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
