Pioneer Work in Hunan by Adam Dorward and Others. By
Marshall Broomhall, B.A. (Morgan and Scott. 2s. net.)—Adam Dorward was a really remarkable man. Ile gave up a lucrative business for missionary work, spent two years in preparation, and then laboured for eight years in Hunan, with a courage and an energy that, as Mr. Broomhall says, will "for ever associate his name with pioneer work in that province." He died of dysentery on October 2nd, 1888. There were not wanting able co-operators, but it seems to be agreed that Mr. Dorward's work did more than that of any one else to make the Hunan Mission a success. This book confirms the belief, first, that China is a hopeful field for these efforts, and, secondly, that the missionaries do well to dissociate themselves from the civil power, whether that of their own country or of the Chinese Government.
