CHRISTIAN RESEARCHES IN ASIA: with Notices on the Translation of the Scriptures into the Oriental Languages.

Descripción

18 cm. 158, 55pp. Full brown leather with black leather label and gilt rules. Spine ends worn down, joints repaired. Amateurish strengthening of hinges. Text block very good with scattered foxing throughout. Rev. Buchanan was chaplain of Calcutta and vice-principal of the college of Fort William. While in these positions he translated the bible into many languages. This book was widely influential in encouraging a more world wide missionary expansion, and it was published in an amazingly wide variety of places in the United States. His outlook toward those he tried to convert is representational of the era he came from, exuding moral superiority and dismissing their ways.
