The necessary limits of a condensed hand-book have rendered it impossible to treat of many interesting phases of Korea and the Koreans. Two main objects have been kept steadily jn mind by the author. First, to show the conditions amidst which missionaries labor, by briefly describing the land, people, customs, and religious life of the Koreans; and, second, to exhibit against this background the splendid character of the native Church. Brevity alone has prevented that full recognition of the self-sacrificing and very successful labors of my colleagues, but as far as possible mention has been made in outline of the main events attending the expansion of the work under foreign leadership.
