Scarce account of a missionary journey through Ukraine and the Caucasus with several atmospheric views of the Caucasus. The author travelled from Moscow down to the Dnieper, giving special attention to Kyiv and the Ukrainian Jewish population, and on down to Sevastapol before turning east to the Volga and to the Scottish mission at Karass and Astrakhan, and all the way to Mozdok and Tbilisi.

Henderson was a dedicated missionary and author who travelled extensively in Northern and Eastern Scandinavia from Iceland to St. Petersburg, and published several works on his travels. He was a strong advocate of ethnic and religious minorities, within the context of evangelisation, and was constantly frustrated at the failure of governments to give missionary support or consent.

From the library of Frances, Viscountess Lorton (1775-1841), wife of General Robert Edward King, 1st Viscount (1773-1854) of Rockingham House, Co. Roscommon.
