Many travellers or emigrants to the United States who had heard the Second Advent message there returned to their home districts to preach. From 1841, Millerite evangelists appeared in Great Britain, also, though he never travelled there himself. In addition to the nearly $1,000 that Miller and Himes spent supplying literature to enquirers and evangelists in Great Britain, "there is evidence that Liverpool, Bristol, and other ports local Millerite pioneers borrowed copies of Miller's works and Adventist magazines from visiting American sea captains and merchants."
