Описание: Consists of annotated uncut transcriptions from archival material of five original narratives that cover the visits to China, India, Ceylon, Java and Singapore undertaken by the Right Revd George Smith, the first (Anglican) Bishop of Victoria (Hong Kong), between 1852-1858. Journeys with a Mission provides valuable information in two main areas: Protestant and Roman Catholic missionary, linguistic, pastoral, medical and educational activity, and the country-situation in China and India at the time. They contain first-hand information about China’s internal, consular and diplomatic events, and vignettes of Indian life and culture just a few years before the Mutiny. The Bishop’s thoughts and reports illuminate ongoing discussion of the relationship between missions and territorial expansion, and clearly show the focus and self-sacrifice of a peace-loving man who truly believed that empire was given for the purpose of carrying Christianity ‘in the regions beyond’. In the 1850s, edited and cut versions of all five pieces were published in the Church Missionary Intelligencer, a publication of the Church Missionary Society. All are presented here in full, with the cut parts restored and editorial changes reversed. As a result, insights are gained also into the thinking at that time of a major missionary society, still active today.
