VINTON BOOK COPY
V0LUM5 IV
This volxime is a typewritten copy of Missionaries of the
A.B.C.F.M. Memorandum, 1335 - 1910, which is the second of two
Tolumes of handwritten biographical memoranda about the missionaries
of the American Board. The first volume was copied after 1910; this
rolume is being copied in 1967.
These volumes are also known as the Vinton Book after the Rever-

rolume, the format of which was used in this second volume. His work
vt8 carried on, after his death, by Dr. Alfred 0. Treat, Vlss A. Chapin,
*nd others until a card filing system was adopted.
