My Life in Basuto Land - A Story of Missionary Enterprise in South Africa #230396

This book has been placed upon the list of the Religious Tract Society because it describes in very graphic and picturesque style the planting of Christian Missions among the Basutos in the early part of this century.<br><br>M. Casalis has not attempted to write a connected history of the mission; he has only put together his recollections of the men and deeds of fifty years since, under the general title of Mes Souvenirs.<br><br>In a fascinating manner he sketches for us his early life in France, his spiritual education and development, and his pioneer work in South Africa. His experiences in the latter country have all the freshness of an original explorer, and they refer to a time when Moffat and Livingstone were yet unknown to fame.<br><br>The book has been very popular in its French dress, and it is hoped that it will soon find a wide circle of friends among English readers.
