Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Missions of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions to the Oriental Churches, Vol. 1 of 2 Missions to the Oriental Churches occupy a large space in the forty-nine volumes Of the Missionary Herald, and in as many Annual Reports of the Board; and in View of the multitude of facts, from Which selections must be made to do justice to the several missions, it will readily be seen, that their history can not be compressed into a single volume. The Missions may be regarded as seven or eight in number; considering the Palestine and Syria missions as really but one, and the sev eral Armenian missions'as also one. The his tory Of the Syria mission, in its connection with the American Board, covers a period of fifty-one years; that Of the Nestorian, thir ty-seven that of the Greek mission, forty three; Of the Assyrian (as a separate mission), ten; of the Armenian mission, to the present time, forty; and of the Bulgarian, twelve.
