Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Eustace Carey, a Missionary in India: A Memoir
IN the last week of July, 1855, an advertisement appeared in the newspapers of a speedy publication Of a Memoir of Mr. Carey. This arose from a mistake on the part of the advertiser. I hepe it will be distinctly understood, that at that time not a line Of this book was written, neither had it even been thought of. This fact, together with ill health, will explain to the reader the cause of delay in publication. When beginning the work, I found scarcely any materials in my own possession from which to compile a Memoir. It was Mr. Carey's habit to destroy all written memorials of every description. On application to his correspondents, very few Of his letters were forthcoming. This must account for the prominence of my own remarks in the early part Of the book.
