Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Labours of John Wray: Pioneer Missionary in British Guiana; Compiled Chiefly From His Own Mss, and Diaries Some account of "John Wray, Pioneer Missionary," by the present writer, appeared in the Evangelical Magazine for 1887. Based upon an acquaintance, personal and otherwise, with the scene of his labours and with surviving converts, it was such a condensation of scattered printed matter as about twenty pages would allow. Yet, so far as the author is aware, the little attempt was the first of its kind; and certainly, so far as he was concerned, it seemed not unlikely to be the last. As of John Wray´s own parentage and family, so of his widow and children after their return to England, the writer knew nothing. What inquiries he had made proved unavailing; and the brief history soon began to mingle with the stream of things behind, which are on the way to being forgotten. A letter to hand, August, 1888, put a new aspect on matters. Written by a gentleman quite unknown to the recipient, but expressing, at his wife´s request and in sympathy with her, thanks "for your kind remembrance of her father, John Wray," of which "remembrance" they had just been informed; it led both to a most interesting and valued correspondence, and to the loan, for a while, of such MSS. and Diaries as are herewith detailed.
