Brett was ordained a deacon in 1843 by Bishop William Austin. After suffering from malaria, he was forced to return to England in 1849 but returned late the following year. In total, Brett spent almost forty years as a missionary to the native peoples of South America, retiring in 1879. He translated the New Testament and the Book of Common Prayer into several of their languages. William Henry Brett married Caroline Nowers in 1845. Brett died Oct. 2, 1886 Paignton at the age of 67.

In 1851, he had published Indian missions in Guiana. Condition: Spine sunned, corners bumped, spine ends and corners moderately rubbed, gilt dulled. Over all a very good copy.
