Excerpt from Bishop Wilson's Journal Letters: Addressed to His Family, During the First Nine Years of His Indian Episcopate The abundant materials placed at Mr. Bate man's disposal rendered it impossible for him to give more than occasional quotations from these Letters. These quotations are omitted in the cor respondence now presented to the reader. The same ground will necessarily be gone over as in the Biography, but the aspect under which the facts are presented is new.

The main interest of the Volume will consist in the graphic picture which it presents of the Bishop's feelings under circumstances of great responsibility and difficulty, and m receiving from his own pen his first impressions of India, when all was new and fresh, described with that warmth and energy so. Peculiar to him. The account of his visits to the various Missionary Stations will be interesting to the friends of Missions, while his reception at the Native Courts will present a curious exhibition of the barbaric pomp of these ancient dynasties. The Spiritual tone of the Bishop's own mind is reflected in every page, and will present a view of his character which will be edifying to the devout reader.
