A Letter to the Right Hon. Lord Bexley / containing a statement to the committee of the British and Foreign Bible Society, as to the relations of that institution, with France, the valleys of Piedmont, Switzerland and Germany

An English clergyman writes a detailed report of an eight-month continental journey undertaken on behalf of the British and Foreign Bible Society, describing distribution efforts, auxiliary associations, and the religious condition in France, the Piedmont valleys, Switzerland, and Germany. He recounts attendance at a large Paris meeting, visits to provincial auxiliaries and a small village where education and Scripture circulation are closely linked, and notes Protestant ministers' roles and Catholic access to Bibles in schools, hospitals, and prisons. The account assesses the Society's practical effects, highlights increased lay activity and local organization, and offers firsthand observations, guarded commentary, and recommendations to the Society's committee.
