John Wilson (1804-1875) was a Christian missionary and
philanthropist. He spent most of his working life in India, where
he built churches and schools, and founded the institutions now
known as Wilson College and the University of Mumbai. First
published in 1878, this biography was compiled by George Smith
(1833-1919), at the request of Wilson's son. As former editor of
the Calcutta Review, Smith was an expert on Wilson's career, and
having met him on his own travels to India, held him and his work
in high esteem. The book traces Wilson's life from his childhood to
his final days. It reveals his patient mediation between native
Indians and their rulers, his groundbreaking and lasting influence
on their lives, and his pivotal role in the British government's
efforts to help India and its neighbouring countries. It remains of
great interest to scholars of religious and Asian studies.
