From Far Formosa

From Far Formosa: The Island, Its People And Missions is a book written by George Leslie Mackay in 1895. The book provides a detailed account of the author's experiences and observations during his mission work in Taiwan, which was then known as Formosa. It covers various aspects of the island, including its geography, climate, flora, fauna, and the customs, traditions, and beliefs of its people. Mackay also describes the challenges and successes of his mission work, including the establishment of schools, hospitals, and churches. He provides insights into the political and social conditions of Taiwan during the late 19th century, including the impact of foreign powers on the island. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Taiwan, particularly during the period of Western influence and Christian missionary activity. Mackay's personal anecdotes and vivid descriptions make it an engaging and informative read.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
