Synopsis

A historic collection of early 19th-century sermons and missionary scholarship.

This volume gathers two sermons preached before the University of Cambridge on Commencement Sunday in 1810 and a sermon given to the Society for Missions to Africa and the East in London in 1810. It also includes the work Christian Researches in Asia by Claudius Buchanan, reflecting a program of translation, exploration, and Christian outreach in the East.
