Francis Ellingwood] [Abbot

An "exposure of the weakness, costliness, and inefficiency of the system of foreign missions. It gives reliable statistics showing that, at the lowest estimate, this system would take about forty thousand years to convert the world ... Also, a very remarkable article by a Siamese Buddhist is appended, giving an account of a spicy conversation between himself and a missionary."

This diary covers some of the years of Abbot's graduate study at Harvard.
