An account

I had always heard that the dream was three times repeated, ^ but the story as I have it, written down from my husband's dictation,^ is as 1 From The Life and Times of Carey, Marshman, and Ward, the Serampore Missionaries, we have been able to fix the incident as in January or February, 1794. 2 As regards the frequent recurrence of the number three in narratives of this sort, see p. 229, note. 3 The account was only in part dictated, but was throughout revised by Mr. Udny, on April 27, 1861. 406 SUPPLEMENT. [chap, above ; and I believe he was afraid to add more particulars, as he was a most exact man, and would rather understate than exaggerate, even undesignedly, any story. In answer to inquiries, Mrs. Udny adds that her husband was not born till 1802, and therefore cannot have heard of this incident till a good many years after its occurrence; but his father lived till 1830, and it must have been often talked of after my husband had grown up.
