- "The first edition of this book was published in 1885. In 1899 Mr. Robert Clark sent the copy for a second and revised edition, omitting some parts of the original work, adding new matter, and bringing the history of the different branches of the Mission up to date. It was his wish that Mr. R. Maconachie, for many years a Civil officer in the Punjab, and a member of the C.M.S. Lahore Corresponding Committee would edit the book; and this task Mr. Maconachie, who had returned to England and was now a member of the Committee at home, kindly undertook. Before, however, he could go through the revised copy, Mr. Clark died. .... [Mr. Maconachie] set to work to condense the whole, and this involved the virtual re-writing of some of the chapters. The references to names and statistics have been brought up to the Annual Report for 1902-03. The book may now, therefore, be almost said to have a double authorship. .... The Punjab Mission is now fifty years old; and in no way can its jubilee be better commemorated than by the publication of such a work as this". -- Prefatory Note.
