THE LIFE OF GILMOUR.
'The story of James Gilmour will, if we mistake not, take a place of its own in modern missionary literature. To a world devoted so much to mercenary interests, and a Church too given to take things easily, the life is at once a rebuke and an appeal not easily to be forgotten.'—Christian World.
'We are sure that this work will be read with the deepest interest by Churchmen as well as Nonconformists.'—Record.
'A notable addition to the number of impressive and fascinating missionary books—a volume fit to stand on the same shelf with the biographies of Paton and Mackay.'—British Weekly.
'James Gilmour may appear to some as a hero, to others as a deluded enthusiast, but no one who takes up this account of his life and work can fail to be fascinated by it.'—Manchester Guardian.
'Out of sight the most interesting and valuable missionary biography of recent years.'—Literary World.
'Not only deeply interesting as a record of missionary labour, but teems with characteristic sketches of Chinese manners, customs, and scenery.'—Times (Weekly).
'Unlike many missionary records, his letters and journals can be read. Indeed, it is difficult to stop reading, once you have begun.' National Observer.
'For an age which, as the editor remarks, likes "large and quick returns" for its investments, the history of a man who had for many years to possess his soul in patience has a real and permanent value.' Daily Telegraph.
'From every point of view the book deserves the highest praise.' Glasgow Herald.
'Not the least interesting portion of the book will be its strange pictures of life amid Mongol surroundings.'—Liverpool Courier.
