    Description

    Early Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

    Second edition.

    Written by John William Marsh, the rector of St. Michael's in Winchester. This edition was published the year after Marsh died, with corrections provided by Mrs. Marsh and Mrs. Gardiner. First published in 1873. 

    In this work, Marsh presents the history and progress of the Christian mission work in South America, which was started by British missionary and naval officer Allen Francis Gardiner in the 1830s. Marsh highlights the difficulties faced with this work, and highlights the key figures involved, particularly those who continues Gardiner's work after his death.
