(2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Excerpt from The Karen Apostle, Or, Memoir of Ko Thah-Byu: The First Karen Convert, With Notices Concerning His Nation The following pages were sent to me by the Rev. Mr. Mason, with the request that I would superintend their publication in this country. They are accordingly now sent forth, in hope that the interest which has been felt in behalf of the Karens may be deepened, and that the cause of missions to the heathen in general may be promoted, by the striking proof of the power of the gospel here exhibited. The maps which accompany the Memoir, are reduced from Rushton's Bengal Gazetteer of 1842, and are more correct than any thing else of the kind heretofore published in this country. All the interior of Tavoy and a part of Mergui, as presented in that work, were taken from an original manuscript map of Mr. Mason's.

Ko Thah-byu's successful labors.--Style of preaching.-- Scene of his successes.--Shades in his character.--Ignorance.--Love of knowledge.--Passion.--Habits of prayer. From the time that Mr. Boardman became unable to labor, to more than a year after the writer of this memoir joined the mission, with the very important exception of Mrs. Boardman's invaluable and indefatigable labors with the people when they 'visited town, the whole watch care of the church, and the instruction of the inquirers, devolved on Ko Thahbyu; and the numbers that were baptized within this period afford the best comment on his labors. During the rains of 1831, he taught a school, as he had done the previous year, near Tshiekku, where the principal part of the Christians resided; and his diligence in this department of labor was as conspicuous, as in every other in which he engaged. Some of his pupils at the close of the school could repeat verbatim whole Burman tracts. Early in 1832, accompanied by Ko Thah-byu, I made an exploring tour through the province. We stopped about noon the first day at Shen Mouktee, an old walled town, but reduced to an inconsiderable village. This town is remarkable for containing the most famous idol in the province, it having been found (such is the received tradition) floating up the river on a peepul log, which stopped opposite the town; and the little brass idol, from being a few inches high, has miraculously grown to the full size of a man beneath the spreading peepul, that sprung from the log on which it was found. Sometimes, when war or pestilence was approaching, it has been known to weep and moan. These, with other equally veracious legends, draw to its shrine all the piety of the province; and once a year, the...
