George Gillanders Findlay (1849-1919) took over responsibility for the writing of the history of the WMMS from Rev W C Bourne in 1913. At that time Findlay was Professor of New Testament Language and Literature at Headingley College. Findlay died in 1919 with the task only half-completed whereupon William West Holdsworth (1859-1939) was asked to complete the history in a modified format. The first volume of 'The History of the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society' (Epworth, London) was published in 1921 with the following volumes published over the next few years (volume five was published in 1924). |
