"An Historical Sketch of the China Mission of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the U.S.A." offers a detailed account of the church's missionary work in China from its beginnings in 1834 through August 1884, with updates to the list of missionaries through December 1887. This historical record provides valuable insights into the challenges, developments, and personnel involved in establishing and maintaining the Episcopal Church's presence in China during a pivotal period. The book serves as a primary source for understanding the history of missions, the Episcopal Church's global outreach, and the complex interactions between Western Christianity and Chinese society in the 19th century.
