Reginald Heber (1783 1826) was appointed as the second Anglican
Bishop of Calcutta in 1823, having previously been connected with
both the Church Missionary Society and the Society for the
Promotion of Christian Knowledge. At the time, the diocese of
Calcutta covered all of India, and also southern Africa and
Australia, and his short episcopate involved much travelling around
his scattered flock. Heber's account of his travels in India and
Sri Lanka was published by his widow Amelia in 1828, and expanded
to three volumes in this third edition of 1828 1829, which provides
a valuable description of the culture of India in the 1820s. Heber
wrote positively about the moral character of Hindus, and
identified faults as well as strengths in British rule in India.
Volume 1 describes his voyage to India, his first impressions of
Calcutta, and his journey from there to Allahabad.
