Original two toned hardcover with tan paper spine and blue paper covered boards, much wear, previous owner's name and private library stamp behind front cover, some darking to the text block and penciled bracketing. Part of spine is missing… (1 inch approx) some water stains on back board does not effect the text. Overall in FAIR condition. In Apology for Promoting Christianity in India in India (1812) Claudius Buchanan tells a heart-rending story that illustrates the power of shame in Indian culture. A widow of Vaucha-ramu, a Brahmin, had to commit Sati with her dead husband at Mujilupur, South of Calcutta. The cremation got delayed until sunset. The smoke and the heat made the widow change her mind. She managed to wriggle out of the funeral pyre and hid in the bushes. When the smoke had cleared, the mourners saw that there was only one body on the pyre. A manhunt began. The son found his mother and began to drag her to the fire. She cried and begged with the young man who owed his life to her, to please let her live. The son replied that if she lived, he would be shamed in his caste and that would be worse than death. So it is better for her to die! UncleAndy Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. Hardcover.

Contact seller4-star sellerLater edition. Contemporary brown calf, gilt tooling on spine, edges and spine worn; tear to upper corner of p. 11 (one word of text missing), text leaves browned with some foxing, stain through last 40 leaves. Ownership inscription on fly-leaf. Rare edition of an influential work. It contains sometimes lurid accounts of religio…us and cultural practices in India, including, for example, a section on "Immolation of females." First published in 1811, the work Christian researches in Asia was issued in several editions in England and the United States in the ensuing two years. It was also translated into several languages. According to the Oxford DNB, "Buchanan's writings were considered authoritative in America and helped to stimulate the American missionary movement and to shape American attitudes towards non-Christians." The sermons included with each edition vary somewhat. This particular edition, published by Stephen Ustick in Burlington, New Jersey, appears to be relatively rare, with OCLC listing just 6 known copies in libraries. Buchanan (1766-1815) was born in Scotland, and became an East India Company chaplain. He traveled extensively in India and wrote compellingly on what he observed.
