Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Black Bishop: Samuel Adjai Crowther With real pleasure I respond to Mr. Page´s kind request that I should write a brief preface to his book. I knew Bishop Crowther well, and greatly appreciated the simplicity of his character and the devotion of his whole heart and life to the Niger Mission. It is a good and a right thing that his biography should be written; good and right also to dwell most fully upon the central parts of his long career as Mr. Page has done. The story of his rescue from the slave ship and of his early days, both before and after that decisive moment in his life, is tolerably familiar, having been told in speeches and lectures and books and magazines innumerable. Many amongst us have vivid recollections of the times of difficulty and controversy that caused his later years to be somewhat shadowed. What the author of this biography has mainly sought to do, and has done with skill and judgment, is to portray the missionary Bishop at work during the earlier years of the Niger Mission.
