Mt. Wright presents very clearly the English setting of the letters included in this collection, and the notes which have been interspersed among them give sufficient explanation to form a continuous narrative. A word, however, may be premised here as to the special interest of the letters in connection with the centennial of the Baptist Missionary Society. The letters throw a new and unexpected light on the American connection with the Serampore Mission of the English Baptists. The obstacles placed in the way of the English missionaries by the East India Company made it necessary for them to make the voyage by way of A merica, and they were thrown on the hospitality of their American brethren. A regular correspondence thus sprang up between the society at home and the Serampore missionaries, carried on from this country mainly by Dr. William Rogers, of Philadelphia, and the Rev. John Williams, of New York.
