Acionirant Judson : his Life and Labours. By his Son,
Edward Judson. (Hodder and Stoughton.)—The filial piety of Mr. Edward Judson has given us here a more complete account than we have hitherto possessed of a laborious and noble life. Dr. Judson has been placed by common consent—for we have heard High Churchmen loud in his praises, Baptist though he was—in the front rank of great Missionaries. Tried by the test of visible success, his work was great. Nowhere in India, except, perhaps, in some districts of Southern India where Christian influence has been long at work, have Mis- sions done more than they have in Burmah. Something of this Dr. Judson saw in his lifetime—sixty-three churches had been established, at the time of his departure from Burmah—but more has been developed since his death. He left behind him also work of another kind, closely related to his missionary labours. He had finished a translation of the Bible into Burmese, and had pat together the larger part of a Burmese dictionary.
