"OTHER MEN LABOURED, AND YE ARE ENTERED INTO THEIR LABOURS'

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION

AT the request of the Directors of the London Missionary Society I under
took to collect and arrange the following records of the Missionaries and
Deputations of the Society from its commencement to the present year.
The work is designed chiefly for the use of the Directors, Officers, and
Missionaries of the Society ; and, from the condensed form in which its
details are presented, it will be at once evident that it is more suitable for
reference than for reading.
The need of such a record has long been felt ; and, at various times,
efforts have been made to supply the deficiency. The first systematic collec
tion of records of Missionaries was made by the Rev. Cornelius Rahmn, who,
after spending some years in Siberia as a Missionary of the Society, held an
official position in the Mission House between the years 1826 and 1834.
During that time he, with much research and care, collected materials for a
Register, which, on his quitting the service of the Society to become the
Pastor of the Swedish Church in London, he left at the Mission House in a
manuscript volume, which has, since that time, been very useful for reference,
and to which I am much indebted for details respecting the earlier Mis
sionaries of the Society. The work was subsequently taken up by another
hand, and brought down to the year 1852. After that date no regular record
appears to have been kept, and only occasional additions to existing records
were made.
Being occupied at the Mission House for several years on a special work,
and feeling the need of a complete record of Missionaries, and having the
opportunity of collecting materials for continuing the series, which had for
the most part ceased from 1852, I availed myself of the opportunity thus
offered, at first chiefly for personal use in the work before me. Afterwards,
when I had been requested by the Directors to prepare a complete Register

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION

of Missionaries, etc., from the commencement of the Society's operations
to the present time, I entered more fully and systematically into the work-;
and, after making large use of existing registers, and revising and adding to
them from various sources, and collecting and arranging materials relating to
Missionaries during the last twenty-five years of the Society's history, I now
submit the present work to those for whose use it was chiefly prepared.
In explanation of what may by some be considered to be an excessive
use of italics in the following pages, it may be well to state that that type is
used in order to facilitate reference, by pointing out the successive places at
which each Missionary laboured, and also the specific branch of work in
which he was engaged.
It cannot be reasonably expected that this Register, which includes
within its range such a variety of details, and embraces a period of more than
eighty years, will be free from numerous deficiencies and inaccuracies in
statement. After every effort on my part to secure a complete and correct
record, I am conscious that many defects exist, and expect that many errors
will be discovered. All that I can now do is, on behalf of the Directors, to
ask those friends who are able to supply the deficient information, and to
furnish corrections of errors, kindly to render the aid which they are able to
afford, in order to make the Register complete. To such friends let me
suggest that their contributions of information be sent to the Foreign
Secretary of the Society, written on a sheet distinct from the letter which
may accompany it, and headed thus — MEMORANDA FOR " REGISTER."

PREFACE TO THE CENTENARY EDITION

Ten years have passed since the last edition of the Register was issued.
During this interval numerous additions have been made to the list of
Missionaries, and many details have been collected respecting those whose
names had been previously recorded.
The need for a new edition was being generally felt, and the completion
of a Century in the Society's history has been thought to be a fitting time for
the issue of a Centenary edition.
From the volume now prepared it will be seen that the number of Mis
sionaries engaged in the Society's work within the century has been 1,036,
which number includes 919 male Missionaries and 117 female Missionaries.
To these may fitly be added the wives of Missionaries. The exact number
of these invaluable allies in the work is not recorded, and cannot be definitely
stated ; but the number may be taken as at least 780.
While a large majority of those whose names appear in the Register
have been natives of England, Wales, Scotland or Ireland, a goodly number
have been natives of other lands, as France, Holland, Denmark, Sweden,
Germany, Prussia, Austria, Switzerland, Egypt, the Cape Colony, Australasia,
India, the West Indies, the United States of America, and many of the
foreign fields of the Society's work.
These last words point to the very interesting fact, as shown in the
following pages, that during the last sixty years, but especially of late,
numerous sons and daughters, and some grandsons and granddaughters, of
Missionaries have been included in the roll of the Society's agents.
The new century of the work of the Society is bringing in fresh materials
for record. These, while life and strength allow, I hope to gather up, but it
will be for some other hand to embody them in a new edition at a future day.

PREFACE TO THE CENTENARY EDITION

Let me, as before, request those who discover errors or deficiencies in
this very varied record to aid me in correcting the one or supplying the
other. With unabated interest in the high object of the Society, and with
prayer for a greatly increased success in the promotion of that object, I now
place this volume in the hands of the Directors, at whose request the work
has been carried through. J. O. WHITEHOUSE.

South Africa he received from the Malagasy Government a letter conveying per
mission to visit the capital, and on arriving in England another letter to the same
effect was received. The permission offered was for a visit of one month. It

Government assurances of friendly feeling towards the Malagasy Government,

panied by Mr. Bourne, was occupied from July 4, 1823, to August 7, in a voyage to
the Hervey Islands, where Christianity was introduced. During this voyage the island
of Rarotonga was discovered. Leaving Raiatea, October ic, 1823, visited the islands
of Rurutu and Rimatara. With Mrs. Williams and Mr. and Mrs. Pitman, sailed for
Rarotonga, leaving Raiatea, April 26, 1827. While in Rarotonga built the Messenger
of Peace, in which, with Mrs. Williams, he returned to Raiatea, arriving April 26, 1828.
On December 20, 1828, left Raiatea to visit Rututu and Rimatara, returning January
22, 1829. On May 24, 1830, accompanied by Mr. Barff, in the Messenger of Peace,
set out to visit the Ilervey and Satnoan Islands. While on this voyage he visited Nine
(Savage Island), in order, if practicable, to leave teachers there ; but was unable to do
this. From Niud proceeded to the " Friendly Islands," where Messrs. Turner and
Cross, Wesleyan missionaries, received them very cordially, and where important
arrangements respecting a division of labour between the two Societies were made.
Having very satisfactorily settled eight teachers in Samoa, he returned to Raiatea early
in September, 1830. On September 21, 1831, with Mrs. Willams, sailed {ox Rarotonga.
One object of this visit was to revise, with Messrs. Pitman and Buzacott, the Raro-
tongan version of the New Testament, on the preparation of which each had been
engaged. Before entering on this work of revision he, accompanied by Mr. Buzacott,
visited the Hervey Islands. As, in consequence of a severe hurricane which visited
Rarotonga on December 19, a great destruction of trees and produce had taken place,
and provisions had become very scarce, Mr. Williams, with Mr. Buzacott, in July,
1832, proceeded to Tahiii to obtain supplies. On account of political difficulties in
Raiatea, Mr. Williams paid a short visit to that island, and returned to Tahiti, whence,
with Mr. Buzacott, he returned to Rarotonga, arriving in September, 1832. On
October 11, 1832, left Rarotonga to visit Samoa, where he arrived October 17. On
leaving Samoa, proceeded to Keppel's Island, and on the way thence to Rarotonga, the
Messenger of Peace having sprung a leak, touched at the Friendly Islands for repairs ;
after which, on December 5, he proceeded to Rarotonga, arriving at the beginning of
January, 1833. Having completed the revision of the Rarotongan New Testament, he
returned with Mrs. Williams to Tahiti, with the design of visiting England, in conse
quence of Mrs. Williams's ill health. Finding, at Tahiti, Mr. Armitage, an artisan
acquainted with the art of weaving, Mr. Williams deferred his return to England, and
accompanied Mr. Armitage to Rarotonga, that he might introduce the art there.
Leaving Moorea, September 14, 1833, arrived at Rarotonga, October 14. After a
short visit returned to Tahiti. After a short stay there, and a brief visit to Raiatea, he,
with Mrs. Williams and their children, sailed from Tahiti for England, where they
arrived June 12, 1834. In 1835 he superintended the printing of the Rarotongan New
Testament, undertaken by the British and Foreign Bible Society. In April, 1837, he
published his "Narrative of Missionary Enterprises in the South Sea Islands," by
which, by his earnest advocacy of the interests of his mission at public meetings, and
by a special appeal for the purpose, he obtained the sum of ^4,000, with which a
vessel suitable for work among the islands was purchased and fitted out. In this
vessel, the Camden, with Mrs. Williams and a band of missionaries, he sailed from

44 DURELL— SMITH [1817
England on April 11, 1838, for the South Seas, under the command of Captain
Morgan. Arrived at Sydney, September 10; at Samoa, November 23, and at Raro
tonga, February 4, 1839. Leaving Rarotonga on March 6, proceeded to Tahiti,
Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea, and other islands. Returned to Rarotonga on April 17,
and, having visited Aitutaki on the way, went on to Samoa, arriving May 2, 1839, and
settled at Fasitoouta, Upolu, forming a station there. On November 4, he left Upolu
to visit the New Hebrides; arrived at Rotuma, November 13, and at Tanna, November
18. Leaving Tanna, November 19, landed in Erromanga, with Captain Morgan and
Messrs. Harris and Cunningham, on the 20th. Here the party were attacked by the
natives, and Mr. Williams and Mr. Harris were killed. Their remains were afterwards
partially recovered and conveyed to Upolu for interment. After Mr. Williams's death
Mrs. Williams left Samoa, March 11, 1841, and arrived in England, October 25, 1842.
She died, June 15, 1852.

among the negroes, the opponents to the religious instruction of the negroes took
advantage of this to attack Mr. Smith, who, on August 21, 1823, together with Mrs.
Smith, was arrested. The ostensible charge against Mr. Smith was his refusal to carry
arms at the command of a Captain of Militia. He was confined in a room in Colony
House, George Town, from August 21 to October 13, when he was tried by court-
martial on a charge of conspiracy. On November 24, he was pronounced guilty of

72 BUZACOTT [1827

ary Society, Mr. Lacroix, having been long associated with missionaries of the London
Missionary Society, decided to offer his services to that Society. His offer was
accepted on March 1, 1827, by the Deputation, who were then in Calcutta, and their
action was confirmed by the Board, October 15, 1827. He continued to reside and
labour at Chinsurah until April, 1829, when he removed to Calcutta, and, with Mr.
Ray, superintended the native congregations at Rammakalchoke, Gungrai, and other
villages south of Calcutta. Early in 1837 he removed to Bhowanipore, a suburb on
the south side of Calcutta. Here a day school for the girls of the poorer Hindu
families was commenced, and superintended by Mrs. Lacroix. Mr. Lacroix engaged
extensively in vernacular preaching in Calcutta, and in itinerating; he also conducted
a theological class. In December, 1841, with Mrs. Lacroix, he sailed for England,
where he arrived April 4, 1842. During this interruption in his foreign missionary
work, he advocated the cause of missions in England, but especially in Switzerland,
where he lectured on the subject in Basle, Geneva, Lausanne, Neuchalel, and other
places, and also at Brussels and Paris. On September 9, 1843, he sailed for India

as before, devoted himself chiefly to vernacular preaching and itinerating. In June,
1849, at the invitation of the Orissa missionaries, he, accompanied by Mr. Mullens,
undertook a journey to Cuttack and Pari, the object of which was that they might
preach to the Bengali pilgrims, who had come to the annual Car-festival. In Sep
tember, 1855, he took part in the Bengal Missionary Conference in Calcutta. The
Directors having, about this time, heard of his failing health, by a resolution, conveyed
in a letter dated June 9, 1856, invited him to return to Europe for a season. While
feeling deeply the kindness which prompted this invitation, he declined to accept it,
as a change to the Upper Provinces, and a stay of some months at Almorah, were
deemed to be sufficient for his restoration. In November, 1856, he proceeded to
Mirzapur, and thence to Benares, where, in January, 1857, he joined in the Benares
Missionary Conference. He afterwards visited Agra, Delhi, and Futtehgurh, and as
some obstacles to his visiting Almorah presented themselves, he relinquished the
scheme of visiting that place and returned to Calcutta, where, on July 8, 1859, he died.
Mrs. Lacroix, remaining in India, went to reside at Madras, and afterwards removed
to Colombo, Ceylon. In 1877, being in ill health, she returned to England, arriving
June 26. She died at Brighton, October 25, 1880.

Commission was appointed by the French Governor to make an investigation
respecting this charge. The Commission entirely exonerated Mr. Creagh, and the
blame was fixed on the French Romish priests. In September, 1870, he visited the
Coast of New Caledonia with a view to missionary work on that island, and proceeded

results, as the Governor prohibited the establishment of a Protestant Mission on that
