Excerpt from A History of American Baptist Missions For many years Prof. William Gammell's "History of American Baptist Missions," printed in 1849, was the standard and the only authority and storehouse of information on the subject accessible to the public. Professor Gammell had the happiness to write when the work of American Baptist missions was yet limited in the scope and number of its fields, and in his volume, issued only a few years after the separation of the Northern and Southern Baptists in their missionary work, he was able to consider the missions as a unit. Both the extent and nature of the subject permitted him to treat his topic with a minuteness and fullness of development and literary finish which have made his volume the admiration and delight of successive generations of Baptists in America.
