Catalogue Note
A much expanded edition compared with the first (of the same year) and with a map. The wording on the title-page is "London Missionary Society" and the map in this copy is dated 26 June 1818; the first edition (48pp., and with no map) has the wording "Missionary Society of London", a title which was changed on 14 May 1818 to the London Missionary Society.
