a book entitled A M MACKAY Pioneer Missionary of the Church Missionary Society in Uganda by his Sister (Mrs J W Harrison). It is written in the form of letters that Mackay wrote while he was out in Uganda and it was his wish if he died out there that his sister publish his Memoirs. There is a fold-out colour map of Uganda at the rear of the book and also a b/w portrait frontispiece of Mackay.
There is a quote at the start of the book from Mackays journals that sums up his task and his attitude to it:
'It is no sacrifice, as some think, to come here as pioneers of Christianity and of civilization. I would not give my position here for all the world. A powerful race has to be won from darkness to light; superstition and idolatry have to be overthrown; men have to be taught to love God and love their neighbour, which means the uprooting of institutions that have lasted for centuries; labour made noble, the slave set free, knowledge imparted, and wisdom implanted; and above all, that true wisdom taught which alone can elevate man from a brute to a son of God.
Olive green hardboards with gilt floral illustration to front board and gilt lettering to spine. In very good condition. Minor foxing here and there inside. 488pp, 20.5 x 14.5 cm
