Book Description
Excerpt from The Life and Explorations of Frederick Stanley Arnot: The Authorized Biography of a Zealous Missionary, Intrepid Explorer, and Self-Denying Benefactor Amongst the Natives of Africa Miss Ray Arnot, Arnot's eldest daughter, who assisted him in his later years in his literary work and correspondence, has been a great help in correcting place-names. Then a word must be said for the great traveller's mother, Mrs. Arnot, who 1s still alive, and, at the time of writing, is eighty-six years of age. She resides in Glasgow and has followed with great interest the progress of this Biography, and has trusted letters of her son to the mercy of the seas, infested in war time with the deadly submarine. Glimpses of him, in a tenderer and more vivid light, can thus be given to the public than could be obtained from a perusal of his journals and letters, which were written with a View to publication.
