Excerpt from The History of the London Missionary Society, 1795-1895, Vol. 1 of 2 The appearance of these volumes so long after the celebration Of the Centenary of the London Missionary Society demands a word of explanation. AS no complete record of the Society's origin and work was in existence the Directors decided some years before 1895, that what it is hoped, may by its merit commend itself as the Standard History, should be prepared. It was then the wish of all concerned - and the arrangement would have been ideal that the Rev. Ralph Wardlaw Thompson himself should undertake the duty. He at first entertained the idea and began to collect materials for such a work. NO one regrets more keenly than the author that Mr. Thompson had finally, after cherishing the project for a considerable time, to give up all hope of being able to accomplish it.
