Reginald Heber (1783 1826), had long been interested in the Church
of England's overseas missions when he was appointed second Bishop
of Calcutta in 1823. The diocese had been established only in 1814,
and included India, Southern Africa and Australia; Heber's short
episcopate involved much travelling around his scattered flock. His
widow, Amelia published his Sermons and Narrative of a Journey
through the Upper Provinces of India (also available in this
series), before writing this two-volume biography, published in
1830 and also containing previously unpublished writings by Heber.
Volume 2 begins in 1820 and describes Heber's time as Bishop,
focusing especially on his travels and the difficulties he
encountered. Heber was unusually sympathetic towards the Indian
people, and worked closely with other religious leaders; he was
also willing to see failings in British rule. An appendix includes
letters and poems, and tributes by others, including Southey and
Mrs Hemans.
