Excerpt from Brief Memorials of the Rev. Alphonse François Lacroix: Missionary of the London Missionary Society in CalcuttaInterdicted, therefore, from the use of those private records which might throw light upon his inner self, I have sought to draw a full and complete picture of his outward life. And knowing how little the details of our Indian life and manners are realised in Europe, I have endeavoured to fill in and represent as vividly as I could the various scenes through which the mis sionary course of Mr Lacroix lay at successive periods. An objective memoir may be put to the most precious uses, where a subj ective one is impossible. In com pleting my labour of love, I have largely employed his official letters, his journals of missionary tours, with the few lectures and sketches published by himself during his life, and acknowledge with much pleasure valuable aid received from the Rev. C. Barde of Gen eva, the Rev. H. Gundert of Basle, and other friends, who have taken a deep interest in its publication.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
