Reginald Heber (1783 1826), had for a long time 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unpublished writings by Heber.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 1 focuses on Heber's early
life and career, including travels across Scandinavia and Russia,
and describes how he became active in literary as well as church
matters, publishing poetry and the hymns for which he is now best
remembered, and working with the Church Missionary Society. His
unfinished History of the Cossaks is included in an appendix.
