With respect to my own position as connected with the work, the reader will naturally conclude that my pursuits have always been, and still are, devoted to the practice of the particular branch of the profession on which it treats. Such I unhesitatingly avow to be the case; and to those who may think proper to seek my counsel or place themselves under my care, I may simply remark, that I continue as zealous as heretofore in my practice, which I conduct with that honor and integrity which I have the satisfaction of knowing have never yet been violated. The great evil in life is procrastination. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

There are others, again, who have equally abused nature, but not by, dissipation or sensuality; many who, by long ex hausting attention to business, taking no exercise and improper diet, have impeded the recuperative powers, and laid themselves open to pulmonary complaints. Others, again, who, by careless ex posure to wet and cold, irregular meals, and con stant excessive fatigue, have reduced themselves similarly. In fact, it would be an endless task to enumerate all the leading causes Of decline. We can bring them all in under the head of abuse of natural powers, and inattention to those rules which govern the body, which rules every sane man ought to study and follow.

Classic Texts in Mission & World Christianity, a unique sourcebook on the history and mission of the church. Nearly two hundred selections covering the two millennia of the Christian era are represented, including both classic and contemporary voices of persons in mission - women and men, from Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe - and key texts for understanding the mission of Christ, the vocation of the church, and the nature of Christianity. Following the outline of David Bosch's monumental Transforming Mission, Classic Texts offers its readers the full texts cited throughout that best-seller, as well as dozens of additional primary sources from every era and every part of the world. From the seventh century abbess Bertilla of Chelles (who directed both women and men missionaries in England) to the Nestorian Monument detailing struggles with issues of contextualization in 8th century China, to David Livingstone's oft-cited espousal of civilization, commerce, and Christianity (seldom quoted in its entirety), Classic Texts provides a depth and breadth of resources unparalleled elsewhere.
