The Life and Letters of Samuel Norvell Lapsley is a biographical account of the life and work of Samuel Norvell Lapsley, a missionary who served in the Congo Valley in West Africa from 1866 to 1892. The book is written by Lapsley himself, who provides a detailed and personal account of his experiences as a missionary in Africa. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Lapsley's life before he became a missionary. This section covers his childhood, education, and early career as a lawyer. The second part of the book covers Lapsley's time in Africa, including his journey to the Congo Valley, his work as a missionary, and his interactions with the local people. Throughout the book, Lapsley provides a vivid and detailed description of life in Africa during the late 19th century. He discusses the challenges he faced as a missionary, including the language barrier, cultural differences, and the difficult living conditions. He also provides insights into the local customs, traditions, and beliefs of the people he worked with. The Life and Letters of Samuel Norvell Lapsley is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian missions in Africa. It provides a firsthand account of the challenges and triumphs of missionary work, as well as a glimpse into the cultural and social landscape of Africa during the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
