Eugene Casalis My Life in Basuto Land

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. This book has been placed upon the list of the Religious Tract Society because it describes in very graphic and picturesque style the planting of Christian Missions among the Basutos in the early part of this century.<br><br>M. Casalis has not attempted to write a connected history of the mission; he has only put together his recollections of the men and deeds of fifty years since, under the general title of Mes Souvenirs.<br><br>In a fascinating manner he sketches for us his early life in France, his spiritual education and development, and his pioneer work in South Africa. His experiences in the latter country have all the freshness of an original explorer, and they refer to a time when Moffat and Livingstone were yet unknown to fame.<br><br>The book has been very popular in its French dress, and it is hoped that it will soon find a wide circle of friends among English readers.
