Orig. pub. Salisbury, NC, 1801. Reprinted 1976. Print on Demand Edition 2011. viii, 76 pp., new intro., new index James Hall was an eminent Presbyterian clergyman, educator, and patriot who made a missionary journey in 1800-01 which laid the foundations of the Presbyterian Church in Mississippi.

This volume retains significance as a rare historical document and an eyewitness account.
