This work, published in 1864, is the 'popular edition' of John
Clark Marshman's account of the missionaries William Carey, William
Ward and Joshua Marshman (his father), originally published in 1859
in two volumes as The Life and Times of the Serampore Missionaries.
It documents the lives of the three main Serampore Missionaries
from their humble origins and conversions to the Baptist Church to
their pioneering work in Western Bengal. This shorter edition
nevertheless contains a wealth of detail on the administration and
politics of colonial India, on the experiences of the missionaries
and in particular their efforts in advancing education among the
indigenous people. It covers the founding of schools and later the
renowned Serampore College, the missionaries' Bible translations
into various languages including Bengali (Bangla) and Chinese, and
their efforts to promote literacy in indigenous languages. Ward's
pioneering study of Hinduism is also reissued in this series.
