Greenland Missions: With Biographical Sketches of Some of the Principal Converts (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Greenland Missions: With Biographical Sketches of Some of the Principal Converts

In the nine following chapters, the reader will find a general history of the progress of the Mission, up to the present time. The second chapter, which contains a detailed account of the labours and trials of the Rev. Hans Egede in his attempt to evangelize Greenland, is wholly new, and also the ninth, in which Mr. Kleins chmidt's perilous, but successful voyage to South Green land, is related. In this part of the work, the history of the first nine years of the Mission is principally enlarged upon: to give a detailed account of events after that period, would be but to repeat transactions differing in little from those already related, except in the names of the persons concerned.
