Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life, Letters, and Journals of the Rev. And Hon. Peter Parker, M.D: Missionary, Physician, and Diplomatist; The Father of Medical Missions and Founder of the Opthalmic Hospital in Canton This volume owes its origin to the thought which once suddenly occurred to the mind of Dr. Parker (see page 339), that the story of his life-work, if published, might prove an inspiration to other Christian workers. It was with this hope in mind that he provided in his will for the preparation of his biography and requested that the Faculty of his Alma Mater, Yale College, should designate his biographer and determine the manner in which his Memoir should be published. The matter was accordingly committed to the charge of the late President Porter, who appointed Mr. William L. Kingsley, Litt. D., as biographer. Dr. Kingsley devoted much time and labor to the examination of the documents which required to be used in the work, but had scarcely more than begun the composition of the volume when failing health compelled him so relinquish the task. At his request, and with the approval of President Dwight, I undertook the work. It would have been quite impossible for me to publish the Memoir - already too long delayed - during the present winter but for the competent assistance of my colaborer, Rev. Dr. Markwick, who put into available form the documents to be used in the biography and prepared the index. I offer this work to the public in the conviction that it contains the portraiture of a very interesting and remarkable career, and in the hope that it may prove, as its subject desired, an incentive to Christian, and especially to missionary, service.
