Item description from seller

Language: English. About the Book:-This rare and valuable book gives a brief account of notable missionaries, and of the mission work of the American Board in Ceylon, over a period of one century from 1816 to 1916. The first missionaries sent to India by the American Board in 1812 met the opposition of the East India Company and were ordered to leave Calcutta at once. One of the missionaries Newell started as he supposed for Bombay but was landed, providentially, on the island of Ceylon. Anticipating that the brethren in Bombay might be forced to leave India, he decided to await their arrival in Ceylon, yet felt most unsettled as to his movements. "A solitary pilgrim in a heathen land" he spent ten months in Colombo, constantly preaching in English to the foreigners and Eurasians and gaining a knowledge of the situation which he passed on in urgent letters to the Board. The remarkable opportunity offered for reaching the millions of Tamil speaking people in South India through the medium of a strong work among the Tamil community of Ceylon. The book contains many photographs, and the book is divided into sections that notice a specific number of years, over the course of the century. This book is a reprint of the 1916 edition.
