Note 1 — Chapter XLI · THE ENTRANCE OF THE FRENCH MISSIONARIES—1835–1845.
Reading edition
With the foreign leaders there perished no less than one hundred and thirty of their converts, seventy by decapitation, and the others by strangulation, torture, or the result of their wounds.1 In November, 1839, a new edict in the vernacular was posted up all over the country. Six bitter years passed before the Christians again had a foreign pastor.
