Excerpt from History of the Missions of the Free Church of Scotland: In India and Africa I can imagine the question suggesting itself, why, if any note of recommendation were to be prefixed to this History of our Missions, it should not have been written by the Missionary, still spared with us, whose judgment, on all possible accounts, is entitled to carry, and does carry, such pre-eminent weight. Certainly no one can read even a small part of the volume without finding its merits to be so great, and its fitness to awaken interest in our Missions so manifest, that Dr Duff, had other reasons not stood in the way, would, with his whole heart, and in the strongest terms, have commended the work to public attention. It will easily occur to the reader, however, that Dr Duff might naturally shrink from eulogizing a work in which his own career necessarily occupies a prominent place. The volume having been thus placed in my hands, I only wish that I were able to commend it more effectually. From the regard I have these many years entertained for the authors high Christian character, combined with rare learning and genius, I anticipated, on hearing that he was engaged with a history of our Missions, a work of value.
