THIS second edition was prepared by the Committee on Foreign Missions, a branch of the Society of Inquiry respecting Missions, in the Theological Seminary at Andover. The Committee have availed themselves of so much of the assistance of the Rev. Dr. SPRING as his arduous and pressing labors would allow him to bestow. They have been studiously anxious to preserve entire the excellent original. They trust that, with the additions which have been made with much care, the work will gratify the public demand, and in its present convenient form will obtain a free circulation among those who are best able to appreciate its value, and among the young, whom it is peculiarly adapted to lead to right habits of feeling and action. In behalf of the Committee on Foreign Missions. Theol. Sem. Andover, Sept. 22, 1829. E. C. BRIDGMAN. |
