Description

About The Book: The College of Fort William in Bengal had a department for translating the Scriptures into Oriental languages, and in 1805 they began producing versions in Persian, Hindostanee, and Malay. However, in 1807, the establishment was reduced, and the translations were suspended. The Provost and Vice-Provost of the College were determined to find a way to continue the translations, and they encouraged individuals to proceed with their versions and sought support from the public and the government. They also aided the Baptist and Lutheran missionaries in Bengal and Coromandel, as well as other missionaries in the East, to promote the translation of the Scriptures into Oriental languages. They even addressed a memorial to the government in support of a proposed suppression of the Baptist Mission. Despite the obstacles, they were committed to restoring sacred learning to the East.
