Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book of documents is intended to survey the whole field of missionary activity for the period which it covers. It deals only with relations between French colonial government and the French Societe des Missions Etrangeres - the sole French missionary order operating in the region. The book's general object is to acquaint undergraduate historians with some of the problems of collating and interpreting historical evidence through the study of related samples of primary documentation. A brief commentary before each section of the documentation describes the historical situation to which the documents related. The documents are presented in English translation.
