Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of John Thomas: Surgeon of the Earl of Oxford East Indiaman, and First Baptist Missionary to Bengal For many years I have felt deep interest in the character and history of Mr. Thomas. The earliest records of the Baptist Mission contain so much, and yet so little, about him, - there is so much to awaken, and then to disappoint, curiosity, in the particulars there given, - that a strong desire arose in my mind to search out and to arrange in a consecutive narrative all that could be ascertained regarding him. This desire induced me to put together the substance of all the notices of Mr. Thomas which I could discover in the first volumes of the Periodical Accounts and in several old magazines. The result was a series of papers published in Calcutta, in 1853, and reprinted in England in the Baptist Magazine for 1853-4. Since that time many interesting documents, hitherto unpublished, have come into my hands. Chief amongst these are (1) MS. letters and several volumes of Mr. Thomas´s journal, with a Common-Place book and other miscellaneous papers, very kindly sent out to Calcutta, from his native place, Fairford, by his grand-daughter, (2) a copy of his letters preserved at the Baptist Mission House, London, and (3) a number of his letters to Dr. Carey, for the use of which I am indebted to J. C. Marshman, Esq. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
