The Autobiography has therefore been re-cast and illustrated, in the hope and prayer that the Lord will use it to inspire the Boys and Girls of Christendom with a whole-hearted enthusiasm for the Conversion of the Heathen World to Jesus Christ. A few fresh incidents have been introduced ; the whole contents have been rearranged to suit a new class of readers ; and the service of a gifted Artist has been employed, to make the book every way attractive to the young. For full details as to the Missionary's work and life, the COMPLETE EDITION must still of course be referrcd to. JAMES PATON.

There, in a small cottage, on the farm of Braehead, in the parish of Kirkmahoe, I was born on the 24th May 1824. My father, James Paton, was a stocking manufacturer in a small way; and he and his young wife, J anet J ardine Rogerson, lived on terms of warm personal friendship with the " gentleman farmer," so they gave me his son's name, John Gibson ; and the curly-haired child of the cottage was soon able to toddle across to the mansion, and became a great pet of the lady there. On my visit to Scotland in 1884 I drove out to Braehead ; but we found no cottage, nor trace of a cottage, and amused ourselves by supposing that we could discover by the rising of the grassy mound, the outline where the founda- tions once had been ! While yet a mere child, five years or so of age, my parents took me to a new home in the ancient village of Torthorwald, about four and a quarter rniles from Dumfries, on the road to Lockerbie. At that time, say 1830, Torthorwald was a busy and thriving village, and comparatively populous, with its cottars and crofters, large farmers and small farmers, weavers and shoemakers, cloggers and coopers, blacksmiths and tailors. Fifty-five years later, when I visited the scenes of my youth, the village proper was extinct, except for five thatched cottages where the lingering patriarchs were permitted to die slowly away,-soon they tqo would be swept into the large farms, and their garden plots ploughed over, like sixty or seventy others that had been blotted out 1 https://doi.org/10.24355/dbbs.084-202003201137-0 T.I/E STORY OFJOHN C.

  • Appendix 3: Finding Aid for Vanuatu Material in Scotland
    ReviewReview ofof PacificPacific Collections in Scottish Museums Appendix 3: Finding Aid for Vanuatu Material in Scotland Produced as part of Pacific Collections in Scottish Museums: Unlocking their knowledge and potential project 2013-2014. For full information and resources visit www.nms.ac.uk/pacific Artefacts and Archives relating to Vanuatu in public repositories in Scotland (United Kingdom) This finding aid has been compiled as a result of a preliminary survey of Pacific Collections in Scottish Museums undertaken between April 2013 and December 2014. The review scoped the extent of Pacific collections in Scotland and identified key strengths and resources for future research. It also compiled Collections Level Descriptions for each regional island group and to highlight significance. The review was undertaken as a partnership across four museums in Scotland with significant or extensive collections from the Pacific region. These partners were National Museums Scotland (Edinburgh); Glasgow Museums; Perth Museum and Art Gallery and Aberdeen University Museums. Each of these museums hold collections from Vanuatu that have clear associations with islands or regions in Vanuatu and relate to well known Scottish missionaries. How to use this finding aid This finding aid provides an overview of Ni-Vanuatu artefact collections in Scotland and where possible related archives or photographs. The following list provides the names of key individuals through which the collections were acquired. The finding aid enables an initial overview of collections and resources and provides contact details for each of the major museums and libraries so that requests for further information can be made. The finding aid should also be used in conjunction with Excel spreadsheets and photographs of artefacts also deposited with the National Archives of Vanuatu.

PATON Missionary to the New Hebrides An Autobiography Edited by His Brother VOLUME III. With a Historical Note and an Account of the Progress of the Gospel in the New Hebrides Illustrated New York Chicago Toronto Fleming H. Revell Company Publishers of Evangelical Literature Copyright, 1898 BY Fleming H. Revell Company — EDITOR'S PREFACE. THE Autobiography of my brother, Dr. John G. Paton has now, at my urgent entreaty, been continued by him, and carried on to the present year. It tells the Story of the Life during the twelve years that have elapsed since Part First and Part Second were completed by the Au- thor, and separately given to the world. The following words from the Preface to an early Edition of the Autobiography are equally applicable to present circumstances: " The Public hailed it from the first with a welcome so uncommon, and God has in many ways so signally owned and blessed it, that it would be no modesty, but sheer stupidity, on my part, to fail in recog- nizing that it has been voted a Missionary Classic by the great and free Community of Readers. I have therefore spared no pains in making it as perfect as it is in my power to do, with the help of many minute corrections from friends here and abroad, and also happy suggestions as to matters of detail from the honored Missionary himself." In the original Preface when the book was first published in 1889, I said: "The Manuscript of this Volume, put together in a rough draft amid ceaseless and exacting toils, was placed in my hands and left absolutely to my disposal by my beloved brother, the Missionary.

    British canvas, stretcher and panel suppliers’ marks. Part 7, Reeves & Sons This resource surveys suppliers’ marks on the reverse of picture supports. This part is devoted to Reeves, a business founded by Thomas Reeves and his brother, William, in about 1780 and which went through several partnerships before becoming Reeves & Sons in 1830, when Thomas Reeves took his sons into partnership, and Reeves & Sons Ltd in 1890. The business was a significant supplier of canvas from the 1830s until the 1940s. For further information, see British artists' suppliers, 1650-1950 - R on this website. Measurements of marks, given where known, are approximate and may vary according to the stretching or later conservation treatment of a canvas or the trimming of a label. Links are given to institutional websites where dimensions of works can be found. Dates for partnerships and addresses are usually accurate to within a year. Square brackets are used to indicate indistinct or missing lettering in transcripts, with readings sometimes based on other examples. Compiled by Jacob Simon, September 2017, updated February 2020, and based on the pioneering work of Cathy Proudlove and the suppliers’ database created by Jacob Simon.

EvEB sinoe the story of my brother's life first appeareel (January 1889) it has been constantly pressed upon me that a Young Folks' Edition would be highly prized.

  • John G. Paton, Missionary to the New Hebrides
    SK BV 3680 .N6 P37 v.l Paton, John Gibson, 1824- 1907. John G. Paton, missionary tc the New Hebrides JOHN G. PATON. JOHN G. PATON, MISSIONARY TO THE NEW HEBRIDES. An Autobiography. i2mo. $1.50. OPINIONS OF THE BRITISH PRESS. ' Christian. — A more fascinating and thrilling bit of missionary history has seldom been given to the public. Christian Leader. — Intensely interesting; indeed, often quite fascinating. Baptist Magazine. — Let the people who tell us that the romance of missions is passed, read this manly and thrilling narrative. No fiction can exercise a stronger sj^ell than the story of this brave Cameronian missionary's life. British \A^eekly. — This is a book far beyond our praise. It will take its place with the classics of missions.— with the Lives of Brainerd and Martyn, and the other records which will endure as long as Christ is preached. Great as has been the missionary work accomplished by the author, we believe it will be found in the end that his greatest work has been the writing of this volume. It is a book which cannot be read without indescribable emotion. ... It must surely, now and in days to come, kindle in many souls something of the writer's own lofty and fervent love. Moie than any argument it will silence the faithless clamor a'^ainst missions ; and no one. Chris- tian or sceptic, will peruse it without feeling that there is amongst us still at least one truly Apostolic man. Scotsman. — The story of Mr. Paton's years of residence among the Tannese, amid many perils and great discouragements, is quite as fascinating in some parts as many a romance.
