Excerpt from The History of the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society, Vol. 4 of 5
This Volume contains an account of the Missionary service of the Methodist Church in Africa and on the Continent of Europe.
It was to these fields that some of the first Women Missionaries were sent, and it is therefore appropriate that the Introduction to this Volume should record the birth and the growth of the Women's Auxiliary.
A pathetic interest attaches to the chapter on work in Sierra Leone, inasmuch as it was the last chapter of the Centenary History actually written by Dr. Findlay before his death.
The greater part of the chapter on Italy has been taken from a Memorandum prepared at the request of Dr. Findlay by the Rev. H. J. Piggott, B.A., for the purpose of this History. Mr. Piggott's story of the earlier years of the Italian Mission conveys so admirable an account, not only of the Wesleyan Mission in Italy, but also of the political and religious condition of that country, that it has been thought well to embody in this record that Memorandum practically as it came from the pen of Mr. Piggott, though much of it has already appeared in the excellent volume lately published: The Life and Letters of Henry J. Piggott, B. A., by T. C. Piggott and Thomas Durley.
