Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Raja Rammohun Roy
The Life and Letters of Raja Rammohun Roy, which Miss Sophia Dobson Collet had undertaken to compile, but which was not finished at the time of her death, was completed by a gentleman at her dying request and was published privately by Mr. Harold Collet in 1900. The book, though greatly appreciated by the admirers of Raja Rammohun Roy, had not the opportunity of a wide circulation. When the first edition was exhausted I requested Mr. Collet to bring out another edition. Mr. Collet wrote to me that he had discharged his duty by bringing out the first edition and was notable to take the responsibility of another edition. On my requesting to give me permission to bring out a new edition, Mr. Collet gladly made over the copyright to me.
While preparing the present edition I thought it would be desirable to embody into it all the new matters that have been brought out up to this time regarding the life and work of Rammohun Roy. I have therefore tried to include in the present volume everything worth preserving out of the voluminous literature about Rammohun Roy that has grown up during the last thirty years.

Highlighting Roy's efforts to combine the best of Eastern and Western thought, the book explores his engagements with Christianity and his profound influence on the Brahmo Samaj, a social and religious reform movement that rejected idolatry and advocated for reason and universal brotherhood.
