Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

The present volume is the tienty-seventh in a series of text-books prepared primarily for the use of voluntary mission study classes in the institutions for higher learning of the United States and Canada. This fact will account for certain typographical peculiarities and also for the material presented. A correspondence, extending over eight years, with leaders of such classes in more than six hundred institutions has determined the selection of a larger proportion of general information relating to the geography, ethnography, and religions of India than appears in the ordinary volume on that country. At the same time the facts that theE mpire is occupied by toward a hundred Protestant missionary societies, representing various branches of the Church, and that the students enrolled in the classes also belong to some fifty denominations, have prevented more than the merest allusion to the work of any given society or Church. The reader must look elsewhere for particulars concerning the activities of his own society, if more information is desired than is found in the A ppendixes. The author is under obligations to the literature referred to in the footnotes and in the brief bibliography of Appendix A., as well as to the larger nimiber of voltmies which he has made use of in a less direct way. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Harlan Beach was born on April 4, 1854, in New Jersey, in a small, interrelated community, the third child and second son of Joseph Wickliff and Mary Angeline (Walkley) Beach. Both his father's and his mother's families were of Connecticut ancestry. Through his father he was descended from Thomas Beach, who took the oath of fidelity to the New Haven Colony in 1652 and was one of the early settlers of Milford, Connecticut.
Harlan Beach attended school in Newark, New Jersey, prepared for college at Phillips Andover Academy, and graduated from Yale in 1878. In both academy and college he had a high scholastic record. He taught at Phillips Andover for the two years after college and then entered Andover Theological Seminary, graduating in 1883. Against his father's judgment but with his mother's sympathetic endorsement, he decided to be a missionary.
In 1883 Harlan Beach went to North China under the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. There he acquired an excellent knowledge of the language and was associated with a school in T'ungchow where he organized one of the first two Young Men's Christian Associations in China. His wife's health prevented his remaining in China beyond 1889. From 1892 to 1895 he was in charge of the School for Christian Workers in Springfield, Massachussets. In the latter year he became educational secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions, then in its youthful heyday. In that post he promoted the organization of mission study classes in the colleges and theological seminaries, supervised them, trained teachers for them, and wrote textbooks which were characterized by accuracy and readability. He began, too, the statistical studies of foreign missions which were his chief contribution to scholarship. In 1906 Beach became the first incumbent of the professorship of missions at Yale, a post which he held until he became emeritus, in 1921. He was concurrently librarian of the Day Missions Library. At Yale he organized courses in his field and made the Day Library one of the two best collections in the world on Protestant foreign missions.
In connection with his professorship Beach traveled widely and repeatedly to see missionaries at work and lectured regularly in other institutions. For years he was the outstanding scholar in the United States on foreign missions. After he became emeritus at Yale he was lecturer on missions at Drew Theological Seminary until 1928, when failing health forced his permanent retirement.
In his later years Beach spent his summers in Maine and his winters in Florida. In addition to many articles he wrote nine books and collaborated on at least four others. Most of his works were manuals for mission study classes. Larger and more substantial were A Geography and Atlas of Protestant Missions (2 vols. , 1901, 1903), World Statistics of Christian Missions (1916), with Burton St. John, and World Missionary Atlas (1925), with Charles H. Fahs. These were without peer in their field and involved enormous labor and meticulous attention to detail, qualities for which he was noted. Beach died of angina pectoris at Winter Park, Florida.
Harlan Beach was the head of the School for Christian Workers in Springfield; an educational secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions. Harlan Beach's major works: The Cross in the Land of the Trident (1895); Knights of the Labarum (1896); Dawn on the Hills of T'ang (1900); Geography and Atlas of Protestant Missions (1801–1803); India and Christian Opportunity (1904).

(Excerpt from New Testament Studies in Missions: Part I.-M...)
Harlan Beach was organizer of one of the first two Young Men's Christian Associations in China.
Large of frame, above medium height, and neat in dress, Beach was rather striking in appearance. From youth he suffered from near-sightedness and in his later years was threatened with blindness. He was conscientious, deliberate, intelligent rather than brilliant, an indefatigable worker, modest, unselfish, sensitive, and, when in the mood for it, genial and an excellent raconteur.
On June 29, 1883, Harlan Beach was married to Lucy L. Ward. They had no children of their own but adopted two sons, Roderick and Selwyn Dexter.
