Later unprinted laid paper wraps with "Busbridge & Co Superfine" watermark 16x24cm. (4)pp title, dedication, and opening statement; 29pp table; (3)pp data tables, Index and Errata. Very good, foxed. Prepared in support of a very early unstated edition of a "Missionary Map of the World", it is not recorded on Worldcat or Library Hub, which list other contemporary missionary gazetteers. It contains significant detail "found impossible" to include on the map itself. Dated Dublin, 1830, it was written by "The Compilers" (unnamed) for the Reverends Robert Herbert Nixon and Joseph Henderson Singer, Secretaries to the Hibernian Church Missionary Society (HCMS). The HCMS was founded in Dublin in 1814 by the Reverend Benjamin Williams Mathias, who had also formed the Hibernian Bible Society in 1806. It gathers information from over 30 Societies. The table (pp1-29) arranges Stations by region: Western Africa, South Africa, African Islands, Inland Seas, Siberia, China, India beyond the Ganges, India with the Ganges, Ceylon, Indian Archipelago, Australasia, Polynesia, America, Guiana and West Indies, North American Indians, Labrador, Greenland, and Continental Europe, subdivided by sub-region or tribe. Columns describe location with map coordinates, populations, Society affiliations, date established, number of schools, number of scholars, names of Missionaries and other labourers, with other observations and detailed footnotes. p(30) contains several tables. One lists 145 languages and dialects for Scriptures distributed, printed, translated or promoted by the British and Foreign Bible Society. Another 6.1M Bibles and Testaments issued by the Society broken down by home and abroad. And another annual expenditure by that Society for its first 25 years, a total of £1.6M to date, of which £104K with income of £86K in the 25th year for example. pp(31)-(32) contain Index and Errata.…
