The History of Bread: From Pre-historic to Modern Times
Ashton, John
Bread -- History
This volume seeks to place on record in a permanent
form a complete account of the terrible convulsion in
China in the year 1900, known as the Boxer Movement. It
contains the thrilling story of how death, for Christ’s
sake, was bravely met in many of its most hideous forms
by missionaries and native Christians alike. _It also
describes some of the most miraculous escapes from death
on the part of missionaries and native Christians._
The story of the siege of Peking is described from a
Christian point of view, and the author sums up his study
of the great episode in the conviction that in China of
to-day, as in other parts of the world in all ages, the
blood of the martyrs will prove to be the seed of the
Church.

‘Mr. Matthews’ story forms a splendid record of good
work accomplished, and the volume is by far the most
interesting and entertaining of all the books which have
been published lately concerning missionary life in the
great African island.’ _The Athenæum._
‘It is a remarkable record of Christian activity.’—_The
Pall Mall Gazette._
‘The intrinsic worth of the book ought to ensure its
success, for it takes a place of its own among Missionary
volumes.’—_The Examiner._

‘Here are pen portraits of eighteen Evangelical teachers,
beginning with Wyclif and ending with Spurgeon. It need
hardly be said, perhaps, that their eighteen biographers
treat them from about the same point of view. The
admirable thing is that, though that point of view is
one with which a given reader may not be so fortunate
as to find himself in sympathy, it is one which has the
advantage of showing the subject of the biography at his
best. A very pleasant volume, and the more to be valued
for the sake of its fifteen portraits.’—_The Academy._
