Because Pratt left no papers, the chief details of his career are to be found in the archives of the Church Missionary Society. And it was mainly as an editor, rather than author, that he made his most important literary contributions. Along with the CMS publications mentioned above, he edited numerous collections of sermons and the works of important Anglican divines.
