Laurie, Thomas

Historical Sketch of the Syria Mission

New York: American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, 1862.

Softcover. Very good. 32 pp, in original sewn wrappers, but with stab holes along gutter from having been bound into a larger volume. Else about fine. Map of the "Field of the Syria Mission" on page 2. Laurie worked as a missionary to the Assyrian Church of the East in what is now Northern Iraq with the objective of providing support (most often through education and the printing of books in the Syriac language) to fellow Christians living among Muslims.
