The journal is in three parts: Oct 1808; preface to the history of the mission; journal/history from 16 Jun 1811 - Dec 1815. The volume has been badly damaged, each page having been torn or cut into a number of pieces and then repaired.

Transferred from the Council for World Mission Library in 2001.
