Includes index, photographic plates depicting Chinese daily life and missionary activities.
Preface explains that titular city, Ming-kwong [Mingguang 明光], is a fictional composite based primarily on cities in Central China, but vouches for the truthfulness of the events narrated within.
Chapters are chronological, spanning the years 1807 to 1924; each is prefaced by an outline of the content and "Special Topics," i.e. suggested activities for readers, and has appended to its conclusion a timeline of major missionary and general events during the period.
