Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Records of the General Conference of the Protestant Missionaries of China: Held at Shanghai, May 10-24, 1877 The General Conference of Missionaries which held its session in Shanghai from the 10th to the 24th May, 1877, resolved to publish its proceedings in a book, and appointed a Committee of live to edit it. Two members of the Conference, - Rev. M. T. Yates, D. D., and Rev, C. W.! Mateer, - having volunteered to assume the whole expense of publication, and to trust to the sale of the book for their reimbursement, one great difficulty was thereby disposed of, and the way paved for carrying on the work. Accordingly, arrangements were made at the Presbyterian Mission Press in Shanghai, to proceed with the publication as early and rapidly as practicable. As only three members of the Editorial Committee resided in Shanghai, the details of preparing the manuscripts for the press and correcting the proofs necessarily devolved on them. The quantity and variety of these manuscripts and the condition of some of them made it requisite that not only time and care should be expended on them, but that some responsibility also should be assumed in order to do justice to the book. There are typographical errors which must be charged to the Shanghai members of the Editorial Committee, not to the compositors or printers, all of whom are Chinese, - a fact, by the way, which though very interesting in itself, did not tend to insure freedom from errors in English type. The time taken for the publication of these Records may to some persons seem long, and therefore it is right to say, that the paper on which this book is printed had not only to be ordered from England, but to be made after it was ordered; and, further, that many of the manuscripts, which were carried away from the Conference by their owners to be perfected and returned, were late in getting back to Shanghai; (five essays and forty-one speeches were not returned;) and lastly, the lithographing of the maps with which the volume is illustrated required more time than had been anticipated. For the drafting of those maps, which add much to the interest and value of the book, we are indebted to the handy skill of the Rev. L. W. Kip, of Amoy. To the Rev. S. L. Baldwin, of Foochow, one of the Secretaries of the late Conference, and the Rev. C. W. Mateer of Tungchow we owe the preparation of the Introduction, and, to the former of these two, other useful items of the book.
