IN ASIA: WITH NOTICES OF THE TRANSLATION OF THE SCRIPTURES INTO THE Driental Languages. "And I saw another Angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the "EVERLASTING GOSPEL to preach unto them that dwell on "the Earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and "people." REV. xiv. 6. BY THE REV. CLAUDIUS BUCHANAN, D. D. LATE VICE-PROVOST OF THE COLLEGE OF FORT-WILLIAM IN BENGAL, AND MEMBER OF THE ASIATIC SOCIETY. THIRD EDITION. EDINBURGH: PRINTED FOR J. OGLE, AND MANNERS & MILLER, EDINBURGH; T. JOHNSTONE, Dublin. CHRISTIAN RESEARCHES IN ASIA. In his late Discourses before the University of Cambridge, the Author noticed incidentally some general circumstances of the darkness of Paganism, and of the means which are now employed to diffuse the light of Christianity in the East. This awakened a desire in some Members of that learned Body to know the particulars; for if there were a just expectation of success, and if the design were conducted in consonance with the principles and order of the Church of England, it might be a proper subject for their countenance and cooperation. A more detailed account, therefore, will probably be read with interest. Many, doubtless, will rejoice to see the stream of Divine knowledge and civilization flowing to the utmost ends of the earth. And even those who have hitherto heard of the progress of Christianity with little concern, may be induced to regard it with a humane solicitude. B |
