Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir of the Rev. William Shaw: Late General Superintendent O F the Wesleyan Missions in South-Eastern Africa The present edition is not a mere abridgment or condensation of the former one; but contains exactly the same matter, with the exception of a few pages of documents, and of the Sermons and Charge, &c., which formed the Appendix. In the Preface to "The Story of ray Mission in South Eastern Africa," (1860,) Mr. Shaw justly remarks, "The following narrative is to some extent an Autobiography, containing an account of my personal labours in this great work." As such, it was not only desirable, but absolutely necessary, to embody much of "The Story" in the present volume, - desirable, because no one could tell the history of Mr. Shaw's life better than himself, - necessary, because scarcely any other material was available for the purpose. From the narrative of sundry journeys in South Africa, and from a few memoranda which have escaped destruction, it has been barely possible to compile a consecutive history of the outward life of my old friend. Of his inner life we know little beyond the fact of his conversion, and his subsequent uniform, consistent walk with God. When all other sources of information were wanting, I have here and there furnished a few lines or pages as connecting links; and as this portion of the volume is in a distinct type, no one need confound Mr. Shaw's own narrative with my supplementary remarks.
