This is a work of great labor and importance. It would have added much
to the interest with which it is regarded as a missionary triumph,
if some brief account had been prefixed to it, showing the various
laborers who have taken part in it, and the difficulties which have
been surmounted in transferring the more recondite and spiritual
portions of the Epistles and other passages, into a tongue which has
heretofore been employed only to call on fictitious Deities, or to
express objects and ideas, the farthest removed possible from holiness.

in a manner useful to missionaries and teachers, and creditable to
himself.
