Book Description
Excerpt from Letters and Sketches From the New Hebrides In the Second Volume of the original edition of the Autobiography of John G. Paton, the Ninth Chapter consisted of fragments of Letters from "the graphic and gifted pen" of Mrs. John G. Paton. In the Single Volume, or Popular Edition, the exigencies of space demanded the excision of that Chapter altogether. Many have been the regrets that have reached me, from readers far and near, at the loss of what they regarded as "a great enrichment" to the Story; and still more numerous have been the expressions of a hope that those Letters might appear entire, containing "the full-flowing descriptions" which I had ventured to characterize as "one of the most charming pieces of Missionary Literature" with which I was acquainted. My opinion thus reinforced, I set myself to gain, and succeeded in gaining, Mrs. Paton's consent to the publication of these Letters and Sketches from the New Hebrides.
