From Far Formosa: The Island, Its People And Missions is a historical book written by George Leslie Mackay in 1895. The book is a comprehensive account of his experiences and observations during his missionary work in Taiwan (then known as Formosa) in the late 19th century. Mackay provides a detailed description of the geography, climate, and natural resources of Taiwan, along with the customs, traditions, and beliefs of its people. He also sheds light on the political and social conditions prevailing in the island during that period. The book also highlights the challenges faced by the Christian missionaries in spreading their faith among the indigenous population and the efforts made by Mackay and his colleagues to establish schools, hospitals, and other institutions to improve the lives of the people. From Far Formosa: The Island, Its People And Missions is a valuable historical document that provides a glimpse into the life and times of Taiwan during the late 19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history, culture, and religion of Taiwan.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
