"The first edition of this book was published in 1885. In 1899 Mr. Robert Clark sent the copy for a second and revied edition, omitting some parts of the original work, adding new matter, and bringing the history of the different branches of the Mission up to date. [. . .] It was his wish that Mr. R. Maconachie, for many years a Civil officer in the Punjab, and a member of the C.M.S. Lahore Corresponding Committee, would edit the book, and this task Mr. Maconachie, who had returned to England and was now a member of the Committee at home, kindly undertook. Before, however, he could go through the revised copy, Mr. Clark died, and this threw the whole responsibility of the work upon the editor. Mr. Maconachie then, after a careful examination of the revision, considered that the amount of matter provided was more than could be produced for a price at which the book could be sold. He therefore set to work to condense the whole, and this involved the virtual re-writing of some of the chapters. The references to names and statistics have been brought up to the Annual Report for 1902-03. The book may now, therefore, be almost said to have a double authorship. // No mission of the Church Missionary Society has been of greater importance, or has excited greater and more varied interest, than that of the Punjab. Besides the regular and ordinary Mission enterprise started in 1852 at Amritsar, and subsequently extended to many stations, it comprises the unique work at Peshawar, the Medical Missions at Kashmir and on the Afghan Frontier, the Divinity School founded by T. V. French, the itinerant labours of Gordon and Bateman, and the extensive women's work of the Church of England Zenana Society; to say nothing of the Province of Sindh and the Himalaya hill stations." - from the Prefatory Note, page iii.
