c1908 James Gilmour of Mongolia: His Diaries, Letters and Reports

Description

Colour Plates, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

With two illustrated colour plates, three photographic plates, one map, and two further illustrated plates. Collated, complete.

James Gilmour - whose diaries, letters and reports are here gathered - was a Scottish Protestant Christian missionary in China and Mongolia, who served with the London Missionary Society during the Victorian period. The editor of this work, minister Richard Lovett, was a director of this evangelical interdenominational group, first formed in 1795.

The preface of the work explains that this edition was produced due to public request at a price 'which will place the book within reach of the Sunday School teachers, of those Christian workers who have but little to spend on books' after having been widely read in more expensive forms for many years. 

While the title page is undated, this fourth edition can be placed c1908 via WorldCat.
