    PREFACE. HE following pages are made up of notes hastily written by the way, enlarged and filled in afterwards. They have been prepared for the Press under exceptional difficulties, owing partly to the pressure of office duties, and partly to the great amount of deputation work which fell to my lot on my return home. In order to secure accuracy I have, where possible, sent my rough proofs to the friends about whose stations I was writing. I now submit the whole to the public, begging my readers kindly to bear in mind that the book does not aim at any literary merit; it is simply a sketch of a journey made on behalf of the lepers, with the addition of a few personal observations on the working of missions in general. If any friends wishing further information on any point will apply to me, I shall be glad to supply it if in my power. Wellesley C. Bailey. 17, Glengyle Terrace, Edinburgh. Christmas, 1891.
