Memoirs of the Life and Writings of the Rev. Claudius Buchanan, D. D., Late Vice Provost of the College of Fort William in Bengal (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life and Writings of the Rev. Claudius Buchanan, D. D., Late Vice Provost of the College of Fort William in Bengal There is this additional reason for giving to the public some account of Dr. Buchanan, that, from the nature of the subjects to which his attention was directed, he unavoidably incurred a considerable degree of displeasure on the part of those whose Opinions or prejudices he felt it to be his duty to oppose. Itis but reasonable, therefore, that his views and motives should be fully and fairly developed, that the world may have an opportunity' of forming a just estimate of his character and labours.

Memoir of Rev. Claudius Buchanan, D.D.
"The Memoir of Dr. Buchanan here presented to the christian public is that by Dr. Pearson, much abridged in parts which cannot be of permanent interest in this country; with the insertion, in the order of time, of the most valuable portions of Dr. Buchanan's "Christian Researches in Asia," published by himself, which Dr. Pearson felt constrained to omit. What is retained from Dr. Pearson is given in his own words; except that the narrative of Dr. Buchanan's life after his return to England is condensed by the American editor into one short chapter, with the addition of some concluding remarks; and, in a few instances, connecting sentences have been inserted. The division of the book into parts has been dropped, and the whole included in consecutive chapters. It is believed that every thing of permanent value in the Memoir by Pearson is retained, and that the additions from the "Researches in Asia" will render this volume more valuable than the original; and indeed, in relation to Eastern missions, one of the most instructive and useful works that have been written. -- page 3.
