This second edition volume, published in 1912 by Morgan & Scott, provides a definitive biographical account of James Hudson Taylor, the influential British Protestant missionary who founded the China Inland Mission. Authored by his son and daughter-in-law, Dr. and Mrs. Howard Taylor, the narrative focuses on Taylor’s formative years and the spiritual development that led to his monumental work in China; the cover notably features a red inset with Chinese characters, reflecting his deep cultural immersion. The book is in fair to good antique condition, showing significant shelf wear and fraying to the spine and edges of the green cloth boards, along with some light marking on the cover. Internally, the binding remains intact, and the pages show expected age-toning but appear clean, featuring a well-preserved frontispiece portrait of Taylor from 1852.
