Chinese Recorder and Missionary Journal

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It behoves us therefore to consider well the contents of our papers, our deliverances, and our action throughout. Our cri tics are various some are carpers pure and simple, - from the omniscient skipper up to Canon Taylor, without a bit of heart intent only on mischief; some are sympathetic like Mr. Cains - to whom I lift my hat - but insufficiently acquainted with mission work; some sit in the easy arm-chair of speculative philosophy high up in the third heavens - complacently discoursing about matters of which they know about as much as they do of the economy of the planet Mars.
