The following work is respectfully presented to the Bap tist Board of Foreign Missions, at whose particular request it was undertaken. Its appearance in public has hitherto been prevented by circumstances not within the control of the Compiler. He hopes, however, that it has lost nothing by the delay. The recent arrival from India, of Mr. Boardman's private journal and some other papers, has contributed much to the interest and value of the book. It is now commended to the charities and prayers of the public, and to the blessing of the God of missions. Northborough, (Mass.) March, 1834. NOTICE.
