Later unprinted laid paper wraps with "Busbridge & Co Superfine" watermark 16x24cm. (4)pp title, dedication, and opening statement; 29pp table; (3)pp data tables, Index and Errata. Very good, foxed. Prepared in support of a very early unstated edition of a "Missionary Map of the World", it is not recorded on Worldcat or Library Hub, which list other contemporary missionary gazetteers. It contains significant detail "found impossible" to include on the map itself. Dated Dublin, 1830, it was written by "The Compilers" (unnamed) for the Reverends Robert Herbert Nixon and Joseph Henderson Singer, Secretaries to the Hibernian Church Missionary Society (HCMS). The HCMS was founded in Dublin in 1814 by the Reverend Benjamin Williams Mathias, who had also formed the Hibernian Bible Society in 1806. It gathers information from over 30 Societies. The table (pp1-29) arranges Stations by region: Western Africa, South Africa, African Islands, Inland Seas, Siberia, China, India beyond the Ganges, India with the Ganges, Ceylon, Indian Archipelago, Australasia, Polynesia, America, Guiana and West Indies, North American Indians, Labrador, Greenland, and Continental Europe, subdivided by sub-region or tribe. Columns describe location with map coordinates, populations, Society affiliations, date established, number of schools, number of scholars, names of Missionaries and other labourers, with other observations and detailed footnotes. p(30) contains several tables. One lists 145 languages and dialects for Scriptures distributed, printed, translated or promoted by the British and Foreign Bible Society. Another 6.1M Bibles and Testaments issued by the Society broken down by home and abroad. And another annual expenditure by that Society for its first 25 years, a total of £1.6M to date, of which £104K with income of £86K in the 25th year for example. pp(31)-(32) contain Index and Errata.…

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Dendera, Beckenham, Kent, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
SHIPPING: Domestic and international shipping is tracked and insured with UPS. This has unfortunately meant an increase in domestic rates especially, and in most cases I am absorbing some of the increase. (I have moved away from Royal Mail owing to a series of problems).
DELIVERY DEADLINES: If you have a hard deadline for receipt that is before the processing time stated on Abe, eg, if you need it to arrive urgently before you travel or before a particular event, please contact me at the time of order to advise, so options can be discussed and steps taken to ensure it gets there in time.
RETURNS: Please return any items for refund within 30 days of the estimated delivery date, and contact me first with the reason for the return to establish whether postal costs will be included in the refund. If the item is not as described, I will cover the original and return post.
