Excerpt from Memoirs of British Female Missionaries: With a Survey of the Condition of Women in Heathen Countries "British Female Missionaries" have, especially during the last forty years, most beautifully illustrated the power, the benevolence, and the divinity of our holy religion. The edifying "Memoirs" of their truly honourable and useful lives have, however, been very sparingly given to the public; scarcely any of them being extensively known to the friends and supporters of Missions to the Heathen, except, perhaps, those of Mrs. Ellis, Mrs. Stallybrass, and Mrs. Wilson. Judicious persons regard those remarkably instructive pieces as deserving to be universally read, and as forming some of the most valuable specimens of "British Female Biography: " they are by no means inferior, and in some particulars they even surpass, those delightful Memoirs of Mrs. Newell and Mrs. Judson, the devoted American Missionaries.

This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.
“Pathbreaking. Approaches the transcultural and religious encounters of Korean and American women with a remarkable degree of sensitivity and nuance, as well as with judicious use of feminist and postcolonial theory. Its rich and diverse historical examples and illustrations are both engaging to read and meticulously documented.”—Namhee Lee, UCLA
