Description: Scarce guide to Protestant missionary activities in China in 1896. Detailed info on the various missions, their locations, and their activities. Interesting sections on printing presses used by the missions in the country, tract societies in China, "Secret sects in China" and others. Also a brief section describing recent riots. With single page maps of each province indicating the location of missions and two hand colored maps of China. The missions were a major source of discontent in China at the time. This work is an important contemporary reference on early mission work in China in the build up to the Boxer Rebellion. Recently de-accessioned from a library with library markings. 6 1/2" x 10", 2 fold out maps, 3 fold out charts, 12 single page maps. 92 (part 1) + 335 (Part 2) pages. Condition: Very Good. Ex-library. Securely bound, some wear to boards and leather. Hinges starting to weaken. Clean inside. Maps very good, except one of the China fold out maps has separate from the binding and has a tear along a fold line. Library markings on spine, labels on front paste down, pocket on rear pastedown.
