“This delightful memoir of a great captain in Israel will be hailed as a valuable addition to the religious biography of our country. The literary execution of the work is equally creditable to the talents and taste of the author, and the most ardent admirers of Dr. Mason will admit that while a spirit of fulsome eulogy is avoided, there is ample justice done to the memory of a great and a good man.”—Pbn.

“We have rarely heard of a more remarkable instance of the triumph of talent and energy over circumstances the most adverse. He began life struggling with the evils of poverty, and the baleful influence of an intemperate father. A dangerous fall from a ladder, when he was a mason’s boy, rendered him hopelessly deaf. Being considered unable to support himself, he was put into the workhouse; and after a series of vicissitudes which would have overwhelmed an ordinary boy—at one time working as a shoemaker, at another as a barber’s apprentice, and by various shifts managing to toil along his rugged pathway—he at length, through a kind Providence, struck the highway on which he afterwards traveled successfully to distinction and usefulness.”—Presbyterian.

“The subject of these memoirs, was generous and noble in his natural disposition, in all his intercourse with his fellows. As a soldier he was brave, and as an officer skillful and prompt; but all these things were eclipsed by the ardor and devotedness of his piety. Among the soldiers in the Crimea he spent his leisure hours, in ministering spiritual consolation to the sick and dying in the hospital. In the lives of missionaries which we have read, none have proved by their works a better right to be called a missionary than he.”—Witness.
