i.<br />

In square 8vo., pp. XIV and 630. Price 12s.<br />

FORMOSA UNDER THE DUTCH: Described <strong>from</strong> Con-<br />

temporary Records with Explanatory Notes, and a Bibliography.<br />

" It forms a monumental evidence of this devoted missionary's interest in the Island where he has<br />

laboured in connection with the Presbyterian Church of England for over thirty years. . . . We<br />

congratulate Mr. Campbell on the successful accomplishment of a most laborious task in the preparation<br />

of an invaluable compendium of first-hand historical material. The very full Bibliography appended<br />

completes the volume as an exhaustive work of reference on the subject of which it treats." Missionary<br />

Record of the United Free Church of Scotland.<br />

In square 8vo., pp. XVI and 199. Price 5s.<br />

FAVORLANG-FORMOSAN : The Articles of Christian Instruc-<br />

tion in Favorlang-<strong>Formosa</strong>n, Dutch and English. From Ver-<br />

trecht's MS. of 1650; with Psalmanazer's Dialogue between a<br />

Japanese and a <strong>Formosa</strong>n, and Happart's Favorlang Vocabulary.<br />

" These documents are of the greatest possible interest and value to students of the history of the<br />

<strong>Formosa</strong>n dialects, and incidentally they have much in them that deserves the attention of students of<br />

Mission history. As the recent cession of <strong>Formosa</strong> to Japan promises to have definite effects upon<br />

the course of missionary enterprise there, the book may be said to appear at an opportune moment ;<br />

and every one who reads or consults it will be grateful to Mr. Campbell for the skill and care with<br />

which he has edited the texts." Scotsman.<br />

In square 8vo., pp. XVI and 174. Price 5s.<br />

SINKANG-FORMOSAN : St. Matthew in Sinkang-<strong>Formosa</strong>n,<br />

Dutch and English. Edited <strong>from</strong> Gravius' edition of 1661.<br />

"<br />

Leyden possesses the only known copy of this striking witness to Dutch missionary zeal, and<br />

the present edition is published by permission of the University Authorities. It gives the original<br />

text in <strong>Formosa</strong>n and black-letter Dutch in parallel columns, with the corresponding English at the<br />

foot of each page, a facsimile of the original Title-page, and the Translator's address " To the Godly<br />

and Discreet Reader." In this curious and ingenuous production, Gravius refers to his labours in<br />

that part of the Island of <strong>Formosa</strong> which was then one of the possessions of the Dutch East India<br />

Company, and '<br />

'<br />

a choice field of action in the Indies for zealous and energetic preachers<br />

;<br />

of whom,<br />

assuredly, Gravius was an eminent example. Now, in other circumstances, the need is not less great,<br />

as Mr. Campbell points out, nor is the field of action more restricted, of which Mr. Campbell gives an<br />

interesting account. The edition is admirably printed by Messrs. Constable." Saturday Review.
