Pledged to the cause of Protestant missious inC hina by the earliest associations, theW riter embarked for that country in the summer of 1839; and, with the exception of an absence of two years, continued to labour there till near the beginning of 1854, under the auspices of theL ondon Missionary Society. In prosecuting his mission, it was his lot to visit various places inC hina, e.g. Macao, Hong-K ong, Canton, Choosan, Ningpo, Shanghai, and to travel through the heart of three of her provinces, Chihkiang, Kiangse, and Canton.
