Spine ends worn down joints repaired. Amateurish strengthening of hinges. Text block very good with scattered foxing throughout. Rev. Buchanan was chaplain of Calcutta and vice-principal of the college of Fort William. While in these positions he translated the bible into many languages. This book was widely influential in encouraging a more world wide missionary expansion and it was published in an amazingly wide variety of places in the United States.
