Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of Mrs. Sarah L. Huntington Smith: Late of the American Mission in Syria, Under the Direction of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mission In preparing a new edition of the following Memoir, the compiler has availed himself of the suggestions of reviewers and readers, for its improvement in some points. It being his plan to devote the first five chapters to the delineation of Mrs. Smith´s character, in some of its prominent and most interesting features, rather than to give a history, in the order of time; dates of years were omitted, in those chapters, to avoid giving perplexity to the reader. In the narrative of her missionary life, which commenced with her engagement in the Mohegan enterprise, the order of time is observed, and dates are given in full. In relation to the ancestry of Mrs. Smith, all the information is given in the present edition, which is well authenticated. Her supposed descent from the venerable John Robinson, of Leyden, is not ascertained with certainty. It has been traced no farther back than to William Robinson, who was in Dorchester, near Boston, in 1641, and whose relation to the venerable Puritan is still matter of tradition. Some additions have been made from the correspondence of Mrs. Smith; partly from letters not received till after the publication of the first edition.
