Excerpt from In Leper-Land: Being a Record of My Tour of 7, 000 Miles Among Indian Lepers, Including Some Notes on Missions and an Account of Eleven Days With Miss. Mary Reed and Her Lepers

To the reader who is disposed to accompany me in a tour through Leper-land I desire to address a few preliminary words.

The visit to the lepers of India, of which this volume is one of the results, was the outcome of an ever-deepening sympathy with the needs of these afflicted people. Having for some five years been permitted to plead their cause here in the Homeland, it was hoped that a personal acquaintance with their actual condition would enable that service to be still more effectively rendered.

During the twenty weeks spent in India I travelled not less than seven thousand miles, and visited twenty-seven Asylums or settlements for lepers and their children, containing 2,979 inmates.

On thirty-seven occasions I was enabled (through interpretation) to speak words that I had reason to believe often brought hope and comfort to these stricken people.

I spent many days among the lepers. I entered, so far as a stranger might, into their joys and their sorrows. I joined in their worship and I shared in their festivities. Among the functions in which I was permitted to have a part were several feasts and one funeral.
