ON the day that Mr. Kincaid last left America to return to Burmah, I ventured to request permission to acquaint myself with all the accessible facts of his public life, with the view of giving them to the world in the shape of a book. The application was nuex pected, but after some hesitation, it was modestly waved by referring the proposal to the two early and devoted friends whose names adorn a previous page. Having received their kind approval of such an undertaking, I began at once the preparation of this volume. As expressed in the title, it does not claim to be a life of Mr. Kincaid, but a history of his labors, and these I have endeavored to sketch in a style adapted to the popular mind, and calculated, it is confidently hoped, to awaken increasing interest in the great enterprise to which all his energies have been given.
