From the Preface: The aim of this little volume is to set forth as simply, and as concisely as possible, the incidents connected with my life and service for the Lord Jesus during my residence in China from October, 1896, to January, 1912. These stories as written were the result of the vision which the Lord Himself gave me concerning my witness-bearing amongst the Chinese people. And this testimony was to be one of Faith, based on His own promises in John 14:1, 13, 14. During this period of doubt and unbelief in the minds of many of the Lord's children I trust the stories may be a word of help and encouragement in season.

Near-new copy - NO marks or writing at all - This second WWII novel from decorated veteran, Robert Vaughan, has the same appeal as Touch the Face of God-painstaking research of military strategy, geography, and equipment-and a new set of intriguing, realistic characters. Patrick and Diane's first meeting is anything but fanciful. In December 1941, Pat and his parents are returning from a holiday in Asia as conditions between Japan and the United States are deteriorating into certain conflict. Diane and her father, a missionary, are fleeing Japan at the heeding of their mission board. Providence has these young people on the same Pan Am Clipper that somehow manages to safely take off when the attacks on Wake Island and Pearl Harbor occur.

Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Good Hard Cover First Edition The English Guide Book, as well as offering a fascinating genre for the discriminating collector is a neglected source for social and economic history. Mr Vaughan, an enthusiastic collector himself, has provided the first full-length study of his subject. He examines the social stimuli which prompted the writing of guide books in their formative era during Georgian and Victorian times. Authors, purchasers, printers and publishers are in turn reviewed and we see how their tastes and interests have contributed to the changing character of the guide book - alike for the discovery of the land of Britain as well as for the greater hazards of foreign travel. As a record of their age, guide books are in a special category - full of incidental social comment as well as of economic and topographical fact, for which they sometimes provide the only remaining source. Eighty illustrations, selected from well- and lesser-known guides illuminate the main themes of this type of book. The book is accompanied by extensive biographical notes to make it of reference value.
