M: One of the First Missionaries of the Amer; Board of Comm; For For; Missions, at Bombay Soon after the death of Mr. Hall in 1826, the Prudential Committee of the A. B. C. F. M. requested the compiler to prepare a memoir for the press. In preparation for the work, letters from his correspondents were collected, and the few private papers that could be obtained were examined. But the materials for a memoir were found to be so few, that it was thought not advisable to proceed. It was however afterwards suggested that a selection might be made from his published communications to the Board and other correspondents, that would not only be gratifying to his friends, but promote the cause to which he so eminently devoted his life. This led the compiler to an examination of a bundle of private papers, which Mrs. Hall had then recently received from Bombay; and finding some portions of private journal and other papers, which he thought would be interesting and useful, he has pursued the plan, first proposed, of preparing a Memoir.
