<dl><dd>PREFACE.</dd></dl><p>The following Life of one of the greatest heroes of modern times, has been prepared from the Biography published at Paris under the direction of the Society of Foreign Missions. In all that relates to the personal history of Monseigneur Dumoulin Boric, I have scrupulously adhered to the facts narrated in this Life. The other historical incidents relating to the mission at large, which I have interwoven with the narratives have been drawn from the Annals of tht Propagation of the Faith. I have not, how ever, confined myself to a translation of the original, except here and there for a few pages, and have given a new form and dress to the whole work, besides abridging it materially. I trust that it may help a little to draw more attention to Catholic missions ; and I should be most happy if the glimpse here afforded of the great works going on in that mteresting portion of the globe with which this little book has to do, should inspire some one qualified for the task with the thought of giving us a complete history of the Catholic missions in China, Cochin-China, and the bordering countries....
