Buchanan's Christian Researches in India: With the Rise, Suspension, and Probable Future of England's Rule As a Christian Power in India (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Buchanan's Christian Researches in India: With the Rise, Suspension, and Probable Future of England's Rule as a Christian Power in India

The Editor, in republishing a new edition of Dr. Buchanan's Christian Researches, so far as they relate to India, has ventured, in deference to the wishes of many friends, to incorporate his own thoughts on Christian missions in connection with England's empire in India.

He has reconciled himself to this presumptuous step in the hope that, by resuscitating and illustrating the Opinions and the researches of the above-named emi nent divine, it will be seen that the principles on which the Marquis of Wellesley, Dr. Buchanan, and like minded men desired to govern India, would have secured the Divine protection; whereas, those principles not having been carried out, we have, as a nation, been lately bowed down by the heavy hand of God's dis pleasure. The local Government, the Church, and the Crown, seem all alike to have retrograded, since 1807.
