“From Far Formosa .” 
By GEORGE LESLIE MACKAY, D.D. 
“We have made a discovery. And lest anyone should snatch it, let us hasten to 
make it known. We have discovered a great explorer, a devoted missionary, and a 
charming writer, and these three are one. His name is George Leslie Mackay.”— 
Expository Times. 
“ Bids fair to equal in fame and interest that of his namesake in Uganda, or of Paton 
in the South Seas.’'— Scotsman. 
“Most opportune is the appearance of this handsome volume, rich with the spoils of 
the traveller, scientific observer, missionary, and hero.”— Critic (New York). 
“One of the most interesting books on missions we have ever come across. . . 
A thoroughly interesting and valuable book.”— Glasgorv Herald. 
“ If one were called upon to select from all missionary literature three of the most 
fascinating stories of modern missions, he could hardly choose any of more romantic and 
heroic interest than the career of John Williams in the South Seas, of Robert W. Me All 
in France, and of George L. Mackay in Formosa, each of which covers about twenty-two 
years.”— Missionary Review of the World. 
“ His story is one of the most romantic.”— Aberdeen Free Press. 
“ A truly wonderful book. . . . There is nothing of the tourist critic’s self-assertive, 
scrappy style ; indeed, one can only realise the marvellous modesty of such a beneficent, 
successful, and influential worker as Dr. .Mackay, by taking it for granted that he lives 
and labours under a strong sense of vivid nearness to God.”— Illustrated Missionary 
News. 
“ The accumulative experience of a keen observer like the author, a man who has 
spent nearly twenty-five years in Formosa, ought to count for something at home, and 
when he says that all of it points to the one great conclusion, the training of native 
missionaries for native work, home authorities should take the proposition seriously to 
heart.”— North British Daily Mail. 
“Possesses much scientific and ethnologic interest. We have been so impressed 
with its value that we have put it in the hands of a competent writer as the subject for a 
special article.”— Methodist Magazine (Toronto). 
“ The chapters on the geography and history, the geology, trees, plants, and 
flowers, and animal life of the island, have a distinct scientific value. There are three 
good maps and a number of capital illustrations. This is a book that should be read and 
read again.”— Baptist Magazine. 
“ We do not suppose that any book has yet been published which throws more light 
upon the island than does this one.”— Free Church of Scotland Monthly. 
“ Dr.. Mackay compels our esteem as a man of varied scientific attainments, and our 
admiration as a great pioneer missionary. Both as a standard work on North Formosa 
and for its intrinsic interest, this book should be in every missionary library.”— United 
Presbyterian Missionary Record.
