Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Robert Moffat, Scottish missionary and linguist, arrived in South
Africa in 1817 under the aegis of the London Missionary Society. He
pioneered missionary activity among the Tswana people and became
deeply influential in South Africa, helping to open up the
'missionary road' north of the Cape and later criticising the
Afrikaners and becoming an advocate of British imperial rule in the
region. He was also the first transcriber of the Setswana language.
Missionary Labours and Scenes in Southern Africa (1842) is an
autobiographical account of Moffat's time as a missionary and
contains, as he states in the preface, a 'faithful record of events
which have occurred within the range of his experience and
observation' that 'supplies much that may serve to illustrate the
peculiar attributes of African society.' Missionary Labours was
hugely popular with the Victorian readership and became a classic
narrative of missionary activity in Africa.
