CONVERSATIONS ON THE BURMAN MISSION. A description of an early American mission to Burma. In 1812, six former Andover students and their wives sailed for Calcutta, determined to spend their lives performing missionary work in Burma and India. Tuttle, who wrote extensively for the Massachusetts Sabbath School Union on the history of numerous missions throughout the United States and abroad, geared her profiles of missions such as this one for children. Nearly all of her profiles take the form displayed here, which is that of a conversation between parent and child operating much like the call and response of the catechism. Extremely rare, OCLC locates only two copies.
