The Jesuit In India: Addressed To All Who Are Interested In The Foreign Missions

About the Book:-The following little work pretends to no higher character than that of an eye-witness’s narrative, and boasts of nothing more valuable than its collection of facts. Whatever reflections the author may have suffered to escape him can be thrown aside by the mind that relishes them not: the history will remain the same. It is needless to detail to our readers the spirit of a system so well known as that of the Jesuits, or to remind them that, such as it was, its success in bringing Heathen nations at least within the pale of Christianity and of civilization, was equal to what had been effected by any other body. The early missions undertaken in the country, of which the following pages treat, were likewise considered as a proof of what may be effected by perseverance and self-denial, even against almost insurmountable obstacles. It is hoped that all who are interested in foreign missions, all who wish to assist those who are laboring in the vineyard of the Lord, will find here matter serious reflection, and will ask themselves “ am I doing my duty? Should all the sacrifice, all the toil left to others, and shall I not share it with them, at least by contributing my mite to the good work.” About the Author:-William Strickland was a noted architect and civil engineer in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Nashville, Tennessee. A student of Benjamin Latrobe and mentor to Thomas Ustick Walter, Strickland helped establish the Greek revival movement in the United States. A pioneering engineer, he wrote a seminal book on railroad construction, helped build several early American railroads, and designed the first ocean breakwater in the Western Hemisphere.Strickland also executed works in other styles, including very early American work in the Gothic Revival style, including his Masonic Hall (1808–11, burned 1819) and his Saint Stephen's Church (1823), both in Philadelphia. He also made use of Egyptian, Saracenic and Italianate styles. He later moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where his Egyptian-influenced design of the First Presbyterian Church (now the Downtown Presbyterian Church) was controversial but today is widely recognized as a masterpiece and an important evocation of the Egyptian Revival style.
