Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Of the Rev. Thomas Coke, LL. D : Including in Detail His Various Travels and Extraordinary Missionary Exertions, in England, Ireland, America, and the West-Indies; With an Account of His Death, on the 3d of May, 1814, While on a Missionary Voyage to the Island of Ceylon, in the East-Indi For my work, which is now presented through you to the world, I hesitate to entertain correspondent hopes. If Dr. Coke had lived to reach the place of his ultimate destination, my undertaking would, in all probability, have been less arduous than it is at present. It was his intention to have furnished me with documents, facts, and incidents in chronological order; and to have transmitted them from India, that they might have been arranged for his inspection, in case he had lived to return, or for publication, if he had visited Europe no more. This was a point which he kept in view while on his voyage, and his last letter to me, which was written off Madeira, chiefly turned on this topic. But the overruling Providence of God, which permitted this plan to be formed, has mysteriously interposed to prevent the execution of it. And, how paradoxical soever it may appear, the same awful stroke, that has partially taken from me the means of fulfilling his wishes, has laid me under an additional obligation to comply with his request. From the difficulties of this situation you have happily afforded me some relief, by giving me access to all his papers that were in your possession, and by readily answering such questions as I found it necessary to propose.
