The Reverend John Furniss Ogle (1823 65) was an academic, a Church
of England clergyman and a committed missionary. Born into a
wealthy religious family and educated at Cambridge, he worked as a
tutor and minister before undertaking missions in the Falkland
Islands, Europe and Africa. First published in 1873, this
collection of Ogle's letters was compiled shortly after his death
at sea during a mission to Algeria. Interspersed with detailed
commentary by the book's editor, the Reverend James Aitken Wylie
(1808 90), the letters trace Ogle's early childhood, his studies at
Cambridge, his embarking on a religious life, and his determined
missionary enterprises. They offer a revealing insight into life in
nineteenth-century Europe and Africa, and portray Ogle as humble
man, dedicated to his pursuits and to the welfare of others.
