American Presbyterian Mission Press The American Presbyterian Mission was opened in Allahabad in 1836. Two missionaries were transferred to China, but it was not until 1861 that they were able to baptise the first convert. At Shanghai the extensive printing operations of the Society were carried on. These comprised not only several presses which were constantly at work, but a foundry where seven sizes of Chinese type, besides English, Korean, Manchu, Japanese, Hebrew, Greek and others were cast. A type specimen book was published in Shanghai in 1872.
