D LL.D., was first published in London, by Messrs. Hodder and Stoughton, in two royal octavo volumes. A second English edition appeared in 1880. In 1881 the Canada edition of the two volumes was issued in Toronto by Mr. William Briggs. In the United States of America, Messrs. A. C. Armstrong and Son issued the first two-volume edition. This was soon followed by a cheaper edition in one volume, for which the late W. M. Taylor, D.D., of New York, wrote an Introduction. In 1881 the American Tract Society issued a third edition, assigning to the author The George Wood Medal and Premium because of his fine transcript of the wonderful life of this devoted and eloquent missionary to India. For a new generation of readers, at the opening of a new century of missionary enterprise, the publishers are glad to be able to issue this third English edition, somewhat abridged by the author, and brought down to date. The price puts the book within the reach of all classes, and especially of student volunteers and all young men and women whom Alexander Duff sought to draw to the foreign mission field.
