PREFACE. 



The Compiler of the following Catalogue^ the Indian Agent 
of the Christian Vernacular Education Society for India, was 
conmiissio(ned by the Committee of the Belimous Tract Sodety 
to report upon their Indian Auxiliaries and oner any suggestions 
whicn seemed calculated to promote their efficiency. .To dis- 
charge this duty thoroughly, it seemed necessary to show what 
has dready been accomplished in each language by the different 
agencies in operation. To compare the resources with the work 
to be done, some details were requisite regarding the population, 
the progress of the Gospel, and education. 

Through the labours of the Rev. J. Long, the Rev. J. Wenger, 
and others, materials were available to shew which Christian 
Tracts and Books had been printed in Bengali. The " Qeneral 
Catalogue of Oriental Worfai,'' published in 1854 by the " Cen- 
tralizing Christian Book Society ,'' chiefly through the aid , of 
H. Carre Tucker, Esq., and a manuscript list prepared in 
London under his direction fer the Christian Vernacular Educa- 
tion Society, afforded some assistance with regard to other 
languages. The Reports of the Indian Tract Societies, when 
procurable, fiimished tolerably complete information regarding 
their publications. Mission Reports generally gave some notices 
of Tract and Books issued by Missions. Mrs. Macleod Wylie's 
''Contributions towards a History of Biblical Translations in 
India," afforded information regarding the Scriptures. Early 
publications, some by Missions before the establishment of Tract 
Societies, others by Tract Societies which have ceased to exist, and 
the pubUcations of private individuals, presented the chief 
difficulty. 

The Compiler, besides consulting the printed Reports avail- 
able, and examining the old Tracts to be found in Depositories 
or in the possession of Mission agents, endeavoured to obtain the 
help of experienced Missionaries well acquainted with each lan- 

fiage. Thus the Rev. Messrs. Long, Wenger, Lewis, Robinson, and 
earce were consulted with regard to Bengali ; the Rev. Messrs. 
Smith,Leupolt,Mather,Parsons,* Walsh, and Rudolph with regard to 
Urdu and Hindi ; the Rev. Dr. Newton about Punjabi ; the Rev. 
Messrs. Bowen and Fairbank about Marathi ; the Rev. Messrs. 

• While these pa^s were passing through the press, this beloved and usofnl 
Missionary was removed by death. 



IV PREFACE. 

Montgomery and Wallace about Gujarat! ; &c. Acknowledg- 
ments will generally be found in the body of the Catalogue when 
lists of publications were furnished. It should have been stated 
that the list of Tranquebar Publications was kindly supplied by 
the Rev. J. M. Schwarz. 

A few remarks may be offered with regard to the USES of the 
Catalogue. The^r*^ object is to show what works already exist 
in any language, and by whom and when they were published. 
Through ignorance of this, books have been twice translated, or 
persons have complained of the want of publications which were 
already available. 

The second object is to suggest topics on whict Tracts and 
Books should. be written. The general list at the end o^ the 
Catalogue shows the languages in wUich Tracts and Books on. any 
specified subject exist. Thus the wants of any particular languo-ge 
can be readily known, while the sources whence materials can be 
obtained are also indicated. The most important subjects are 
generally pointed out by the number of languages containing 
Publications upon them. 

To give some idea of the contents of several of the most 
useful Tracts in various languages, and enable them to be more 
easily reproduced, the compiler has printed three ' volumes of 
translations. Some of the most popular tracts are so local that 
they cannot be issued with advantage elsewhere ; in other cases 
translations could not be obtained. Those printed afford fair 
specimens of tracts published in India. A list of them is given 
below : —

The third volume contains the"^BAZAAR Ai>dressB8, by the Rev. Dr. 
H. M. Scndder, of which a list Is} given at page 154. 

In some cases all efforts to get information were unavailing. No 
copies of Reports could be obtained, the authorship of certain Tracts 
still remained in doubt. One man attempting to compile a Greneral 
Catalogue labours under great disadvantages. Each Tract Society 
should endeavour to get some Missionary familiar with each language 
in which it publishes, to prepare a complete list. The present 
Catalogue will be of some use as a basis. Omissions can be pointed out 
and supplied. 

Besides preparing complete Lists, the various Tract Societies 
should also form Libraries of the Christian Literature in each 
language. From the neglect of this, it has happened that works of 
some value have been entirely 'lost. Many old Tracts and Books, 
although not worth reprinting, would famish some useful materials. 

Roman Catholic Publications are not included, as lists of them 

could not be obtained without very great labour. 

* 

The present Catalogue embraces only one section of the Vernacu- 
lar Literature of India. A General Classified Catalogue of printed 
books in all the languages' of India, is a great desideratum Snch a 
work would be fitly published under the auspices of Government. 
The Directors of Public Instruction might make the necessary ar- 
rangements. 

The compiler has expressed freely his opinions on several points. 
Some will hold different views. Thus many Missionaries in North 
India strongly advocate the use of the Roman character. Still, those 
who condemn it have a right to state their convictions. 

An apology is due for numerous typographical errors ; mistakes 
in fignres are not rare, especially with reference to the dates of pub- 
lications. The compiler from requiring to make the circuit of India 
once a year, must either print hurriedly or not at all. With all its 
defects, he trusts the' Catalogue will be of some service to Missionaries 
engaged in the preparation of Christian Yemacular Literature in 
India.

INFLUENCE OF LITERATURE 

IN INDIA. 

The literature of a country always exerts more or less influ" 
ence over its people ; but in few parts of the earth is this more 
strongly shown than in India. Its mysterious Vedas, shrouded 
in Sanskrit, have, for more than two thousand years, been an ob-^ 
ject of the deepest veneration, and have secured for the Brahmins, 
their guardians and expositors, almost divine honours. The Pu- 
I'anas and Epic poems are the chief supports of popular Hinduism, 

Great as has been the influence of the literature of India in 
past times, the printing press and the spread of education will 
increase its power in the future. Since 1835, when the liberty of 
the press wap conceded by Sir Charles Metcalfe, presses under 
native management have been established over India, and copies 
of native works have been greatly multiplied. The Indian 6oVem«» 
ment now spends on education nearly as much as the British 
Government, and by the extension of an educational cess over the 
country, the available funds will be considerably augmented^ 
Hence the number of readers is rapidly increasing. At page 3, a 
few facts, collected by the Rev. J. Long, will show the extent to 
which native literature is diffused in Bengal, All over India th^ 
same process is going on. 

It is cheerfully admitted that the contact with European 
civili2iation and general literature has, on the whole, exerted a 
considerable influence for good in many of the productions of the 
native press. The Act against obscene books has also producecl 
some effect* Still, it is undoubted, that one great result of the 
establishment of printing presses has been to multiply a ljiwd[p©4 
fold copies of books full of superstition and error. 

Protestant Missionaries, aware of the vast power of the press 
in aiding the Reformation in Europe, have employed it, to some 
extent, in India since the establishment of Missions. A printing 
press was set up at Tranquebar as early as 1712. For a long 
period, indeed, the press in India was entirely under the control 
oS Oovernment and Missionaries . 



II INTHODtJCnoK. 

The numbers of publications printed by the three oldest and 
most important Tract Societies in India during the last three 
decades have been as follows : — 

1838-48. 1848-68 1868-68 

Calcutta Tract Societj .., 2,468,638 900,431 800,171 

Bombay do. ,.• 262,600 700,560 861,284 

Madras do. ... 1,451,600 1,270,100 919,700 

*    m m I » 

Total.. 4,1 77, 738 2,871,081 2,681,165 

The publications of Missions have made up for the diminish- 
ed number issued by Tract Societies ; but it is undeniable that 
while Christian literature has been advancing at a slow rate^ the 
issues of the native presses have rapidly increased. It is high 
time that additional eflforts were put forth, in multiplying Chris- 
tian Tracts and Books, as well as in the use of means for their 
effective circulation. 

THE LANGUAGES OP INDIA. 

A short notice of each language is prefixed to the List of 
Publications. A few general remarks may, however, be offered. 

As the languages of Europe may be roughly divided into the 
German and Latin families, so may the languages of India be 
grouped together as Indie and Dravidian. On the north-easteru 
frontier there are languages, like the Khassia, allied to the Bur- 
mese, and on the borders of Afghanistan , Pushtu, belonging to 
the Iranic family, is spoken ; but with slight exceptions like these, 
the languages may be divided into the two classes above-men- 
tioned* 

The Dravidian family is considered a subdivision of the great 
class of languages, styled Turanian by Max MuUer. 

" Historically," says Beames, " there is little doubt that at an early 
period the whole of India, in common with all eastern, and southern 
Asia, was held by races speaking languages of the Turanian family. 
The Aryan race, speaking a language of the Indo- Germanic family, 
entered India from the north west, and gradually worked its way down 
the valley of the Ganges, driving the Turanians into the then almost 
impenetrable forests and hills of the South. The tide of expulsion 
was chiefly south- wards. IJnconquered Turanian races already held 
the mountain fastnesses of the Himalayas and the deadly forests of 
the Terai; whereas the great * Dakshin^ranya,' or southern forest, 
was, as far as we know, uninhabited ; and consequently the migration 
of the flying Turanians was less restricted in that direction. 

" In spite of expulsions and oppressions, however, there is reason 
to believe that a considerable number of Turanians remained still in 
the valley of the Ganges ; and it is to the obstinacy with which they 



INTRODUCTION. lU 

Tetained certain characteristies of tbeir original speech, that we mnst 
ascribe some of the peculiarities of modern north-Indian languages. 

" At a very much later period the Aryan colonies penetrated the hills 
of Nepal and the western and central Himalayas, but did not entirely 
drive out the Turanian populations. Hence the perpleziug mixture 
of dialects which we find in the Himalayas. 

" In the south, again, the Turanians continue to hold the low 
ranges of the Bajmahal and Kymore hills, and the wild country which 
stretches south-east to Orissa and south-west to the Nerbudda. Those 
Turanian tribes who penetrated into the extreme south were soon after- 
wards civilized by Brahmins from Aryan India, but those who lived 
in the hill ranges remained in their original savage state. This explains 
why in the Dravidian class of languages we find so many words of 
Sanskrit origin; and why the Tamil, Telugu and Canarese people 
are in possession of a civilization so far superior to that of the Kols 
and Gonds. 

To the east, the hill ranges which divide Assam from Sylhet, and 
the Tippetah and Ohittagong ranges, mark the utmost limits of living 
Aryan extension." 

" The Mahomedan invasion of India did not alter the areas occu- 
pied by the two great families above-mentioned. The invaders were a 
very mixed multitude, consisting of Arabs, Persians, Afghans, Turks 
of Chagatai, Uzbek, and other tribes, and Mongolians generally. The 
only results, as far as language is concerned, of their arrival in India, 
were the creation of the Urdu or Hindustani, and the introduction of 
a mass of Arabic words which have established themselves in almost 
every Indian language, though their influence is more perceptible in 
those of the Indo-Germanic family than in those of the Turanian."* 

Latham enumerates the principal northern languages as fol- 
lows : Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi^ Bengali, Oriya, With regard to 
their differences he says : — 

*^ Alittle more Sanskrit or a little less ; a little more Persian or a

SUMMARY OP CHRISTIAN PUBLICATIONS IN

Bengali. — This language is spoken by about 26 millions, or 
20i millions as estimated by Mr. Beames. Before the establish- 
ment of the Calcutta Tract Society, the Missions, especially tlie

Serampore Baptist Mission^ published a namber of tracts and 
books. The supply of Christian literature now depends chiefly 
tipon the Calcutta Tra;ct Society. During the  last 5 years the 
average amount spent on printing has been Rs. 2,326 (£232)* 
The average annual amount of subscriptions during the same 
period has been Rs. 2,611 ; but as the Depository expenses are 
t'ei*y heavy, the sum available for printing is less in Rs* 1,000 a 
Jrean The excess expenditure in printing has been chiefly borne 
by the Parent Society. The usual course has been to use part 
of the proceeds of the sales of the Parent Society^s publications 
to meet printing expenses* In consequence of this, every few 
J-eafs the Calcutta Society hasbecome deeplyindebtedto the Parent 
Society. When this has attracted attention, part of the debt has 
been paid, and the Remainder haS been credited as a grant. There 
tieems no prospect at present of this state of things being remedied ; 
and for some years at least, printing operations must be largely 
dependent upon Home grants* Efforts to increase the subscriptions 
have met with little success. The introduction of the selling 
jsystem would gradually augment the sum available for printing. 

tChe " Calcutta Diocesan Vernacular Committee of the So-^ 
ciety for Promoting Christian Knowledge^' appears to be the 
only other agency whose special object is the publication of 
Christian Tracts and Books. Its first meeting was held on the 
4th December, 1861** The scale of operations is very limited. 
Exclusive of scripture prints, the latest list of publications in Ben- 
gali contains only 11 titles. The expenditure on Bengali print- 
ing in 1864 was Rs. 250 ; in 1865, Rs. 419. Occasionally pub- 
lications are issued by the Baptist Mission and by private in- 
dividuals. 

About twenty years ago the subscriptions to the Calcutta 
Vract Society were threefold the present amount* More money 
Was then available for printing. The Bengali Christian literature 
is third in richness. Tamil occupies the first place ; then Urdu* 
tThe numbers of different publications issued by each agency are 
given below. J' S J'

Assaoies6«— The Rev* W* Ward, estimates that 1,750,000 
persons are accessible through the medium of this language ; but 
there are no certain data* The Christian literatui^e existing in 
Assamese has been, with very few exceptions, produced by the 
American Baptist Mission, aided by grants from the Americaa 
Tract Society.

Bajiskriti — Very few Christian publications have been issued 
in this language. One tract was published by the Serampore 
Missionaries ; one by the Calcutta Tract Society ; Sanskrit verses, 
with English and vernacular translations, were published by the 
Bombay and the Calcutta Tract Societies ; one volume was prepar* 
ed by Dr. Mill, and four works were published by Dr. John 
Muir. 

Oriya.-*-This language is probably spoken by about three 
millions of people.* The Serampore Missionaries published 
several tracts in Oriya, and the Calcutta Tract Society, at aa 
early period, afforded some aid | but the chief agency has been 
the General Baptist Mission. Probably the American Free Will 
Baptist Mission likewise issued some publications ; but no list 
of them is available.

820,000 people. The Welsh Calyanistic Methodist Mission is the 
only one in the country. Five tracts have been published in 
Khassia by the Calcutta Tract Society, and three books by the 
Mission.

Saatali. — Thid language is probably spoken by nearly 
two millions. It possesses no written cliaracter. As missions have . 
only been very recently commenced^ the number of publications 
is very limited. Exclusive of Gospels and elementary Beading 
Books^ there seem to be only two tracts and one book, — all pub- 
lished by the English Baptist Mission. 

Hindi — This language is spoken by more people than 
any other in India. The number may be roughly estimated at 
50 millions. The Calcutta Tract Society, before the establishment 
of the Agra Tract Society, published largely in Hindi. The to- 
tal number of publications seems to have been 772,750. Prom 
the loss of most of the Reports of the Agra Tract Society, the 
number of its publications cannot be given. The North India 
Tract Society printed 178,350 tracts up to the end of 1868. The 
average amount spent on printing in Urdu and Hindi by the 
Society during the last 6 years was Rs. 2,474. The average 
annual amount of subscriptions to the Society, during the same 
period, was Rs. 1,938. Deducting the proportion of Depository 
expenses, the amount available from local funds for printing 
in Urdu and Hindi is only about Rs. 1,200 a year, or Rs. 600 for 
each language. In North India the American and Grerman Mis- 
sions have assisted greatly in increasing the supply of Christian 
vernacular literature. The American Presbyterian Mission 
Press, Allahabad, chiefly aided by grants from the American 
Tract Society, seems to have printed 350,700 publications in 
Hindi. The Lodiana Press of the same Mission, similarly 
assisted, printed 297,000. The German Mission, Tirhoot, printed 
^01,531 publications in Hindi and Urdu during 1846-68. Other 
Missions have also published to some extent.

HixEdustani or Urdu. — This is the language^ more or less, of 
Miihammadans throaghout the country ; but it is chiefly spoken in 
the cities of North India. It is the vernacular perhaps of 25 
millions. The American Lodiana Mission has printed the larger 
member of CJrdu publications. So far as can be ascertained, the 
numbers printed by the principal agencies have been as follows : —

the American Methodist Episcopal Mission has taken up publish-

Urdu Christian literature is next in richness to the Tamil.

is more copious than that of any other Indian language. It is 
the result of numerous agencies. At present there are threo

To give a very rough idea of the compai-ative amonot of 
laboiiv devoted to Christian literature by Missiouaries in different 
parts of India, the following tabla has been drawn up. As the 
Tamil Missions are by far the oldest, due allowance should be 
made on that account. Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi are united, 
because many Missionaries use twD of these li 



The following table shows the average amounts received and 
expended by the Tract Societies in India during the last three 
years. Some Societies do not give their circulation, nor furnish

other imporfcant items. It will be seen that the total amount 
spent annually in printing for about two hundred millions of peo- 
ple is only about £1,300. At the same rate the United Kingdom 
would receive about £200 a year. The number of Tracts and 
Books printed is only 471,505. At the same ^ate, the proportion 
for the United Kingdom would be about 76,000, whereas the 
issues from the London Depository of the Beligious Tract Society 
are about forty millions a year. It is evident from these facts, 
that the operations of Tract Societies in India ought to be vastly 
extended.

THE 

CHRISTIAN VERNACULAR LITERATURE 

OF 

INDIA. 



PART I. 

BENGAL PRESIDENCY. 



UST OF PUBLICATIONS 

IN 

BENGALI. 



INTRODUCTION. 

The People.^The Bengalis inhabit the districts between the 
northern coast of the Bay of Bengal and the base of the Hima- 
layas. To the east there are wild tribes of Mongolian origin ; to 
the west are Behar and Orissa, inhabited by nations using the 
Hindi and the Oriya languages. The country consists chiefly 
of a vast plain, intersected by numerous streams. The delta of 
the Ganges occupies nearly the centre. The area of Bengal Pro- 
per is about 90,000 square miles — somewhat larger than Great 
Britain. 

Bengal is fertile and densely peopled. The population may be 
roughly estimated at 26,000,000 ; which gives 289 to the square 
mile. Of late years some districts have suffered dreadftdly from 
fever and cyclones. 

The Bengalis, living on rice in a hot steamy climate, are phy- 
sically one of the weakest races in India. Intellectually, they 
occupy the foremost rank. 

Bengal is the chief seat of the worship of the goddess Kali, or 
Durga, the most terrible of the Hindu divinities. The modem 
religious Reform movement among the Hindus originated in 
Bengal. 



2 BENGALI. 

The Language. — Bengali belongs to the Aryan family. The in- 
fusion of Sanscrit is greater than in any other of the modem 
Indian languages. The character does not differ very much from 
the Devanagari. The language is encroaching somewhat upon 
the Tibetan and Burmese frontiers. 

Bengali Typograpky.-* *• The most ancient specimen of print- 
ing in Bengali that we hctre/* says the Eev. J. Long, "is Halhed's 
Grammar, printed at Hooghly in 1778. . , , The types for this 
Grammar were prepared hy the hands of Sir 0. Wilkins, who, 
by his perseverance amid many difficulties, deserves the title of 
the Caxton of Bengal. He instructed a native blacksmith, named 
Panchanan, in type-cutting, and all the native knowledge of type- 
cutting was derived from him."* ^ 

The great advance which Bengali typography has made during 
the present century is chiefly owing to the efforts of the Baptist 
Missionaries, who besides producing the only translation of the 
whole Bible which yet exists in the language, have devoted great 
attention to its neat and accurate printing. 

The Baptist Mission Press, Calcutta, has printed a larger num- 
ber of Christian publications than any other in India. Its origin 
has thus been described : — 

" In a little hut of mat and bamboo, thatched with straw, in a suburb 
of Calcutta, may be found the pupil of the Clarendon (the late Rev.W. 
H, Pearce), before his case of type, a rough wooden second-hand press 
by his side, commencing the work of illumining the darkened mind 
t>f India. On the 3rd of September^ 1818, the first form was ready 
for. ihe press. It consisted of two little Bengali tracts, the one enti* 
tied ' Good GoTmsel^' the other was a small collection of hymn^ adapted 
for Divine worship in the vemactilar language of the people. Six thou* 
sand copies were priated. The diligent hands of this, one of the 
earliest of Bengali printers^ completed by the 26th of the same month 
an edition of three thousand copies of another tract, and so urgent 
had become the orders crowding in upon him, that a second press 
was bought. Rapidly the work advanced. Presses and founts of type 
were multiplied. No part of the needful materials was wanting. The 
eatceilent and gifted Lawson cut the matrices and cast the letters. In 
twenty years^ the two founts of type had increased to isaxty-two, in 
eleven of the chief languages and dialects of India ; while instead of 
one rickety wooden press, seven iron presses scattered through the 
length and breadth of the land Scriptures, tracts, religious books, and 
elementary school works, for the illumination and salvation of the 
Myriads 6f Bengali rdolaters.^'t 

Bengali Literature. — The Native Press is more active than in 

toy o^erpart of India. The Rev. J. Long, writing in 1869, 

'• • » 

* Early Bengali Literotare and Newspapeni. 

t Quoted in 53rd Eeport of the Religious Tract Society, Ap. 66. 



INTRODUCTIOK. 8 

says, " Within the last quarter of a century, the number of Ben- 
gali Books printed and sold has not been less tilian 8,000,000 ; 
while during half a century more than 1,800 distinct works, either 
original or translations, have been produced."* In 1857 the num- 
ber of books printed for sale in Calcutta amounted to 571,070. 
The comparatively recent establishment of JN^ative Presses should 
be remembered. The F^^nd of India (Quarterly Series) gave in 
1820, with no small satisfaction, a list of 27 Bengali books issued 
from the Native Presses during the previous ten yeea^. " Fifteen 
thousand volumes printed and sold among the natives within 
the last ten yearp, a phenomenon td which the country has been a 
stranger since the formation of the first, the incommunicable let- 
ters of the Vedas." Information regarding Bengali printed books 
may be obtained from the following :

J. Long. 1859. (Bengal Oovemment Becords.)

By the itev. J. Wenger, 1865. (Bengal Gov&r^msnt Becords.) 

The last Catalogue contains 1S2 Sanskrit and 1,261 Bengali 
titles. 

State of Education- — Education, through the medium of the 
English language, has made great progress in Bengal. Of late 
years some attention has also been given to education througn 
the vema(fulars. On the 31st March 1868, the Districts under 
the Lieut.-Governor of Bengal contained the following schools, as 
far as Returns were obtained : — 

No. of Soliools. No. of Pupils, 

Government Colleges and Schools 318 24, 759 

Aided Schools 3,093 120,383 

Unaided Schools 2,196 65,212 

5,607 iil0,354 

The Betums regarding Schools receiving no aid are so uncer- 
tain, that " no statistical importance can be attached" to Uiem. 

The expenditure of the Department of Public Instruction 
during the year ending 31st March 1868, was Rs. 2,742,124' 
(£274,212), of which Rs. 1,082,698 was obtained from private 
sources, and Rs. 1,659,426 was the contribution of the State.

4 BENGALI. 

The Bengal Revenue for the year is returned at Es. 116,674,016, 
and' hence the Government outlay was about 1 per cent, on the 
public income.* 

The estimated population is 87,789,430. The proportion of 
pupils to population was therefore one in 179. 

FroCTess of Christianity- — Carey commenced his labours in 
Bengal in 1793, and he was succeeded by able and zealous 
Missionaries. Dr. Duff, who came to Calcutta in 1830, gave an • 
impulse to English education over the whole of India. The 
Bengali Native Christians are next in number to the Tamils, 

The following are the statistics of Bengal Missions in 1862 : — 

Number of European Missionaries 65 

„ Native Ministers • 16 

„ n Catechists m 147 

,y Communicants 8,616 

„ Native Christians 16,277 

„ Pnpils in Vernacular Mission Schools 4,081 

„ „ Anglo- Vernacular „ 7,954 

The proportion of European Missionaries to the population is 
about one to 400,000. The converts are about one in 1,600. The 
distribution, of course, is very unequal. 

1. Publications of the Serampore Missionaries. 

In 1798 a Press was bought by the Baptist Missionaries, and 
set up by Qarey and Fountain ; but no advance, beyond negotia- 
tions with a type founder, seems to have been made until the 
arrival of Ward and his companions at the close of 1799. Seram- 
pore was made the head quarters of the Mission. Carey reached it 
on the 10th January, 1800, and on the 10th March the first page 
of Matthew's Gospel was laid upon the press. First a few Chris- 
tian hymns, which had been prepared in Bengali at various times, 
were printed. Under date of Lord's Day, March 30th, Mr. Ward 
describes what appears to have been the very commencement of 
the work of Tract distribution. He writes, " In this country it 
is common for a few of the lowest of the people to take up the 
trade of ballad-singers, or beggars. This morning at a place in 
the town where four roads meet, brethren Carey, Marshman, and 
I made our stand, and began singing our ballad. People looked 
out of their houses ; some came and all seemed astonished to see 
three Sahibs turned ballad-singers. . . . The people seem quite 
anxious to get the hymns which we give away.'^ A few days 
later he speaks of distributing, " The Ten Commandments, with 
Christ's exposition, <ind soTne Oospel texts added.'' Three months 
later a Tract was printed under the title of " The Oospel Messenger'' 

which was written " to usher in the Bible." This little book con-

tained a hundred lines in Bengali verse. The writer, Baan Bam 
Basu^ had been convinced of the truth of Christianity through the 
instruction of Mr. Thomas. " The Gospel Messenger" the first 
thoroughly native Tract printed in Bengali, was the basis of the 
highly useful Tract, " The Mine of Salvation" In August of 
the same year Mr. Carey speaks of his preparing for the press 
a Bengali translation of *' JL Letter to the Lascars" by Samuel 
Peaxce ofLBirmingham. 

Before 1791 Mr. John Thomas had translated portions of the 
Scriptures which were circulated in manuscript. Carey finished 
bis translation of the New Testament in 1797. The printing of 
the first edition was completed in 1801. The Old Testament was 
published in 1809. 

The following are the titles of some other Tracts which were 
printed by the Serampore Missionaries :

The number of Tracts distributed in all languages by the Se»- 
rampore Missionaries in 1816, " far exceeded a hundred thousand." 
In 1827 a hundred thousand appears to have been regarded as the 
yearly average. 

The Serampore Missionaries did not merge their operations 
in those of the Calcutta Tract Society, instituted in 1823. In 
1827 they consented to act as a Corresponding Committee to the 
London Beligious Tract Society. A list of their Tracts was 
published in 1830, but it is imperfect. The Bev. C, B. Lewis gives

Sketch of History.^ 

m 

At Calclitta in March of the year 1823, a numbei? of Missiona- 
ries and lay members of different denominations, met together foi^. 
the purpose of considering the practicability of es6ablishitig a So- 
ciety whose express object should be the disseniination of Religious 
Tracts in the several languages and dialects of Bengal and Hindus-^ 
tan, 

A Committee having been stppointed, their attention was fiist 
directed to the acquisition of funds; but it not appearing advis- 
able at that particular period to make any direct appeal to the 
liberality of the public, the Bengal Auxfliary of the London 
Missionary Society and the Calcutta Baptist Missionary Society 
voted respectively the sum of 600 Rupees. The various Tracts 
also in the Depositories of those Societies, which had been former- 
ly printed at their own expense, were given over as a common 
stock for the service of the Society. At a later period the Church 
Missionary Society handed over 29,500 tracts. 

In 1823, the first work printed by this Society was put to press. 
It was a small Tract, containing the Miracles of our Lard, with 
catechetical quiestions, in the Bengali langnage. This was soon 
followed by an editioai of Keith- a Catechism, 1000 copies ; and in 
the following year by an edition of 2,000 copies of Pearson's Cateh 
chiara. . These three works were published principally for the use 
dt the native schools conducted by the Missionaries of different 
denomihations. 

In' this stage 6f its procieedirigs t#o cJrcuilnst&icel^ bccirred, 
which for a time considerably retarded the progress of the Society, 
\^:, tlEife removal of Its Secretary, the Rev. M. Hill to Berham- 
pore, arid ^he, death . of his successor in ofiice, the Rev. J. B. 
Warden, who died January 8, 1826. 

The first entry in the Minute Book is as follows; — 

" OwiQg to the removal of the Rev. M. Hill to Berhatnpote, "one of 
the Secretaries of the Calcutta Trict Society, fbirtned in the ye&t 1^23^ 
the dtctiies devolved upon the Rev; J. B. Wilrden, in cdii^qtience of

THE CALCUTTA {mACT AND BOOK SOCIETY. 11 

^hO90 defttlk, all books, {lapers, and miiitites belonging to ihp Soplcrty 
'^ei'e lost except. some few accounts in iJiehaxtd^ of the Tres^jxrev^*** 

In consequence of these events notKing of importance was 
transacted imtil September of the same year, .when W, T. Beeby, 
Esq. kindly undertook the office of Secretary, in cozmection with 
that of Treasurer, which he already held, until some other person 
could be found whose engagements would allow him to perforin 
the duties of the office. 

The propriety df publishing religious wopfcs, for the «difio«fci«n 
of the native converts, of a larger size than those usually Ipiown by 
the mame of Tracts having been suggested, it was resolved at a 
a subsequent meeting of the Society, that the name by which it 
was designated should undergo a partial change, and that it 
should he henceforth csflled " The Calcutta Christian Tract 
AND Book Society." In conformity with this resolution, the 
Committee immediately put to press two works in'the Bengali 
language, by the late Rev. S. Tiuwin, viz., A Sehcti&n df Hyir^ns 
suitable for Public WorMp, and a Treatise ciihe Lord's Supper, 
with devotional meditations and prayers: of the former 750, and 
of the latter 250 copies were struck off 

In January 1827, an appeal was made to the public 'for fiinds, 
and collections were made in the Union and Circular Bead dhaf^els. 
A monthly Sheet Tract for gratuitous distribution was <5omnien^ed. 
Twelve numbers were issued. About the same time the first pub- 
lication in the Hindi language was printed, viz., Jesi(sCfA?'is^ ike only 
Refuge from the Wrath to come,.by the Rev. M. T. Adam 6f Benar^ 

It was resolved to publish a mcxifhly paper in the English laii- 
guage tobe called the '* Calcutta Ocoonsional Bundxty Visitor'* 
Four numbeifs were issued, 500 copies being prmted of each. 

In 1835, the Rev. J. Heberlin became Finance -Secretary and 
Treasurer, His energy and zeal gave a fresh impulse to the So- 
ciety. In three years the income from subscriptions was trebled. 
He made several valuable recommendations in ^n able minute, 
dated May 6, 1837. 

One suggesticm of Mr. Hseberlin's was promptly carried out, the 
establishment of a Depository. The Rev. J. thomas of tiie Bap- 
tist Ilission, had for several years, On his own a^icoimt, received 
supplies of the Parent Society's English publications for- sde, 
the profits of which he handed over to the local Society. Sofaie 
pubncations were also kept on sale by the Pastdr of Union Cha- 
pel, the Rev.T. Boaz, In 1837, Mr. G.^C. Hay, a bookseller In 
Calcutta^ agreed to act as Depositary. The Report printed in 

* Sixteenth Report, p. 10- 



12 BENGALI. 

1849 mentions the terms. Mr. Hay received Rs. 100 monthly as 
rent for a portion of his premises, Rs. 10 for a clerk, and an addi- 
tional allowance of Bs. 25 monthly. 

The efforts of Mr. Hseberlin were seconded in England by warm 
appeals made by the Rev. W. H. Pearce and Dr. Duff. The Pa- 
rent Committee voted £700 for the publication of books for Native 
Christians in Bengali, Eindi, and Hindustani — £500 to be forward- 
ed in paper and £200 in money. Publications to the value of £300 
were also sent for the libraries of Government Colleges. 

The decade ending in 1 845 was a period of great prosperity. 
The Treasurers, particularly J. A. Hawkins, Esq., exerted them- 
selves greatly on behalf of the Society, and they had active friends 
in the Upper Provinces, among them Captain Wheeler and the 
Rev. 0. G. Pfander. Large numbers of Publications were issued 
in Urdu and Hindi, as well as in BengaH The annual grant of 
paper from the Parent Society was 800 reams. 

From 1846 to the commencement of 1849, things fell into great 
confusion. There was no Treasurer. The Reports did not give 
the usual detailed statements of accounts, and the subscriptions 
fell from an average of Rs. 5,000 to about Rs. 1,400. The Society 
was deeply in debt both to the Parent Committee and the Baptist 
Mission P^ess. 

In 1849, the Rev. J. B. Parker became Secretary, and shortly 
afterwards Macleod Wylie, Esq. consented to act as Treasurer. 
Mr. Wylie filled different ofiices in connection with the Society 
for the next twelve years, and during this period laboured zealously 
in its behalf. When obliged to go home for a time on account 
of health, he obtained large contributions in England. Notwith- 
standing that the establishment of the Agra Tract Society cut off, 
to a large extent, aid from North India, the subscriptions averaged 
Rs, 6,000 a year, while previously the highest average was Rs. 
5,000. In 1850, the Society, in connection with the Calcutta Bible 
Society, established a Depository under its own direct control. 

In 1857, in consequence of the suspension of the Agra Tract 
Society's operations during the Mutiny, the Calcutta Committee 
caused a large nimiber of ^acts and books in Hindi and Urdu to 
be printed at the Mirzapore Mission Press at their expense to 
supply the requirements of the North -West Provinces, Since the 
Mutiny there has been a considerable decline in the su'^scriptions, 
but the sales are above the average of former years. 

The following Tables give a general view of the Society's opera- 
tions since the commencement

8. Bengali Christian Periodicals. 

• 

Tte fifst Bengali Magazane was the Digdiuraan, published at 
Serampore by Mr. John Marshman. The contents, however^ 
were confined to science, history, and literature. The first Christ' 
ian periodical was the Gospel Magatiney (8vo. 16 pp.) commen* 
ced in 1819 by the Missionaries of the London Missionary Society. 
Five hundred copies of an Anglo-Bengali edition were printed for 
natives in Calcutta, acquainted with English. A Bengaili edition 
of 2,000 copies was circulated in the villages. It was maintained 
till 1823. 

In 1843 the Evcmgeliat, edited by the Rev. J. Robinson, was 
commenced at the suggestion of the Baptist Association. It was 
continued for three years. This was succeeded in 1 847 by the 
Upadeahahy " The Instructor," edited by the Rev. J. Weiiger. 
It appeared till 1857 when the editor went home. Iti 1863 it 
was recommenced after his return ; but it ceased with the year 
1865. 

The Satyearnab (The Ocean of Truth), edited by Missionaries 
of the Church of England, was commenced in 1849. Five Vo- 
lumes appear to have been published- 

The Arunodaya (The Dawn of the Day), a fortnightly Journal, 
was begun in August 1856 by the Calcutta Tract Society. The 
first editor was the Rev. Lai Behari De. The annual subscrip- 
tion was one Rupee. Upwards of one thousand copies were sub- 
scribed for the first year. The second year the number was 777, 
of which 206 were taken by natives. The receipts and expendi- 
ture till it was discontinued were as follows :—

A monthly Magazine for the young, The Lamp of Truth, 18 ^p., 
was commenced in 1860 by the Christian Vernacular Education 
Society, and was continued till the end of 1864. The entire circu- 
lation each year was as follows : 32,795 ; 26,360 ; 16,800 ; 13,589 ; 
15,564. 

A (Uhri^tiapL Almanac was published by the Calcutta Tract So- 
dety in 18^5. The number of copies printed was 4D0 j the sell- 
ing price, 4 annas. It seems to have been issued annually till 
1853. The want of astrological details prevented its circulation 
among Hindus.

32 ASSAMESE. 

ASSAMESE. 

Assam is a/province at the nortb-eastem extremity of British 
India, containtag o^bout 21,000 square miles. It is traversed by 
the Brahmaputra, and is also watered by numerous streams, des- 
cending from the hills on both sides of the valley. The popula- 
tion, probably about a million, is composed of mixed races from 
Lower Bengal, Cachar, and Burmah. Assamese so much resembles 
Bengali, that its claims to be considered a distinct language have 
been disputed. Many Government officers have endeavoured to 
supersede it by Bengali. Vernacular education has been encour- 
aged, to some extent, by Government. 

The Serampore Missionaries commenced a Mission to Assam 
in 1829. The American Baptist Mission was established in 1836. 
In 1862, the Statistics of Assamese Missions were as follows :— 

American and European Missionaries 6 

Native Catechists ,..., 4 

Communicants , 84 

Native Christians .....190 

Pupils in Schools , ....422 

Christian Literature. 

The compiler has made repeated efforts to obtain receut infor- 
mation, but without success. The lists below do not indude the 
publications of the last ten years. 

The Serampore Missionaries commenced a translation of the 
Scriptures into Assamese in 1810. The New Testament was 
printed in 1819, and the whole Bible in 1832. The American 
Baptist Missionaries prepared a new version. 

The Religious Tract Society's Report for 1839 (page 12) gives 
the following list of tihie first publications of the American Sapifist 
Mission : — 

1 . A Selection of the Parables of Chriet. 

2. The Sermon on ihe Mount. 

3. The Creation and Fall. Grenesis i — iii.' 

4. The Dehige, Gen. vi. 6 to ix.. 19. • 
6. A Catechism, 

A Catechism was also printed in the Tai or Shyan language.

ORIYA* 

Introduction. — Orissa is a large province to the north-west of 
the Bay of Bengal, lying between JBengal and the northern parts 
of the Madras Residency. The coast is low, marshy, and subject 
to inundations of the sea. Farther inland there are fertile undu- 
lating tracts ; but the greater part of the interior consists of rug- 
ged hills, covered with jungle, and infested by wild beasts. 

The area is about 35,000 square miles, somewhat less than Eng- 
land and Wales. The population was formerly estimated at 4^ 
millions, but it is supposed that a million perished during the 
recent terrible famine. The northern hills are occupied partiy by 
the Koles ; the western by the Khonds, formerly notorious for 
their human sacrifices. 

Oriya is spoken in the north-east of the Madras Presidency. 

Orissa is one of the most neglected provinces of British India. 
The Rev. I. Stubbins said, " In some parts of the district a cart 
is as great a novelty as a balloon ; such a thing has never been 
seen or heard of there ; consequently there are no roads/^f The 
people are apathetic and superstitious to a degree. The famous 
temple of Jagannath is on the coast of Orissa. 

The Oriya language " approaches much the Bengali, but with 
a greater share of Arabic words." J The character is derived 
from the Devanagari, but very much rounded and altered. The 
indigenous literature is i^id to be very scanty. The Bengal 
Educational Report gives Jhe number of Schools in the Province 
in 1868 as 64, attended by 3,787 pupils — ^about one in a thousand 
of the population. 

The first eflbrts to carry the Gospel to Orissa were made by the

Serampore Missionaries. The whole Bible was traBjslated into 
Oriya by Dr. Carey. The New Testament w|ts completed ia 
1809, and the Old Testament in 1815. The version at present in 
use was prepared by the Orissa Missionaries. 

The General Baptists of England commenced a Mission at Cut- 
tack in 1822, and the American Free Will Baptists one at Balaaore 
in 1837. The statistics of the two Missions in 1862 were as fol- 
lows : —

I. Serampqeb Publications* 

The first Qriys^ Traqt which the earliest convert received was 
printed at Serampore in 1818 and was, " On the Folly of Jagan- 
nath*8 Worship^* The second was by Ward, " On tlie Stopping of 
Jibgannath's Car at SeramporeJ' " The ImmortaJ, ff^etory of 
Christt* i^ verse, was translated from the Bengali by a native. A 
hand-billj containiiig Scripture extracts, was al^o printed at Seram- 
pore. Probably several other publications were issued by the 
Serampore Missionaries. 

%. General Bapti8t Mjs^ioif. 

The great bulk of the Oriya Christian Ut^uture was printed 
al the Mission Press, Cuttack. The press hias also printod iov 
Government, the School Book Society, &c. A list is given bolov 
of the Tracts and Books. It will be observed that a number of 
them are in verse. The most widely circulated popular and use- 
ful is, " The jewel Mine of Salvation.'* The first edition was 
translated by Messrs. Laoey and Sutton, about 1827, from th^ 
Gospel Messenger by Ram Basu. Dr. Sutton says, "It was 
however so rough ana limping that I got the old Serampore Pundit 
(an Oriya) to retranslate it for me. 1 then went over the M^'hole, 
borrowed a few lines from Chamberlain's Oospel Messenger, and 
added a number of original ones.'^f About ?0 years ago the 
Tract was again revised. " The Epitome of the True Religion,^* 
(verse) is also an excellent Tract. Numerous large editions of the 
Tracts mentioned below have been printed. They are circulated 
by the Missionaries during their tours and at the great Hindu festi^ 
vals. The expense of printing has been greatly aided by grants 
both from the Religious Tract Society of England and the Ameri- 
can Tract Soeiety. 

• The Compiler ia indebted to the Eev. J, BaQldesf, B. li., Cuttack, for nearly 
all the information he has been able to eolleot regarding Oriya Christian literature,

40 KHOKD Am) KHASeiA. 

EHOND. 

Tbe Khonds^ as already mentioned, are A wild tribe <^ecupyiAg 
some of the hill tracts to the west of Orissa. Their language, also 
called tiie Ku, belongs to the Dravidian famify'. In Aiigwst 
1850j the first book ever printed in the K3iond langtiage was 
issued from the Mission Press at Oeittack. The translator 
adopted the Oriya character^ with, one or two additional letters:.* 

The mountain territory inhabited by the !l^assias lies in Bast-^ 
em Bengal,, to the south of Asaam^ Its area, is about 3,600 sq,uare 
nules. The rainfall is perhaps the greatest in the' world^. amount- 
ing tQ< abotot 6Q0 ii^ehes a y^ai?. ; Jyntea^ a district U> the east, is 
inhabited by tribes speaking a corrupt Khassia <Hddecl. Thei 
number of people speaking Khaflsin^ is estimated at 220,060; 

The language of the Khassias is monosyllabic, and without 
inflexions. In speaking it abounds in intonations, which form 
so striking a feature in the languages allied' to the Ohinese.t The- 
Welsh Cdrvinistic ' Methodists, who first reduced it to writnog, 
have adopted the Uoman diaracter.. 

The Welsh Mission ^jcas established at Cherr^uo^i, ike chief 
station^ in 1841. In 1862 there were 2 European Missionaries and 
184' Nlative' Ghrisifiiftns.. 

Ednication Ras- of late yearff made some* progress under the Mis- 
sionaries, aided by Government. In 1868- there were in the 
Ehasaia and JTyntea^ territories, 67 Schools,, attended by 1,087 
children. 

The Gosper of Matthew was printed in 18*6 By the Calcutfci 
Bible Society. The printing of the New Testament is now nearly 
completed.

SAlfTALI. 

The Santals are an aboriginal tribe, inhabiting the whole west- 
ern frontier of Lower Bengal. Their country is the shape of a 
curved strip, about four hundred mUes long by a hundred 
broad, giving an area of 40,000 square miles. In the western 
jungles they are the sole population ; in the plains the race gradu- 
ally slides into the low caste Hindus, They certainly number 
a million and a half, and probably approach two millions. 

The Santal is more squarely built than the Hindu, with a 
forehead not so high, but rounder and broader; the lips are a 
little thicker than the Aryan^s, but not thick enough to attract 
remark. The language of the Santals belongs to the order of 
speech which starting from monosyllabic roots, form their inflec- 
tions by the aid of pronominal particles. It possesses no written 
character, but the Sanskrit alphabet represents all its sounds. 

Tlie Santal knows no God who will reward the good ; but a 
host of demons are ever at hand to punish the wicked, to scatter 
diseases, to spread murrain among the cattle, to blight the crops, 
and only to be bribed by animal-suffering and a frequent out- 
pouring of blood.* 

There are three Missions labouring among the Santals, the 
Church Mission and Baptist Mission among the Rajmahal Hills, 
and the American Baptists in Midnapore. There are about 800 
converts connected with the Church fission.

INTRODUCTION. 

Importance. — Of aU the languages of India, Hindi is spoken 
by the greatest number of individuals. It is the prevailing language 
in the whole basin of the Ganges, west of the Rajmahal Hills. 
The area may be roughly estimated at 400,000 square miles, and 
the population at 65 millions, of whom probably 50 millions 
speak Hindi. Muhammadans use Urdu, and that language is 
common in cities ; but among the rural population, Hindi is every 
where current. Urdu has been made the language of the Courts, 
and Hindi has not received the attention it deserves. 

Rajpootana and some other districts are peopled by races 
whose vernaculars have not yet been .fully investigated. Some 
regard the languages as mere dialects of Hindi; others consider 
that two or three may claim to be considered as distinct lan- 
guages. 

The People. — The country, in general, is an immense plain, 
traversed by the Jumna and Ganges, with their numerous tribur 
taries. The southern districts are hiUy. The people, living chief- 
ly upon wheat and having comparatively bracing winters, are 
taller and more robust than the nations alon^ the coast. In 
some places, as Delhi and Lucknow, Muhammadans are nume- 
rous ; but the great bulk of the people are Hindus. Rama has 
many worshippers. The ordinary salutation is Ram, Ram ! 

Language. — India was probably originally peopled by races 
speaking languages of the Turanian family. The Aryans intro- 
duced Sanskrit, which took such root in Northern IndiB, that the 
languages now current there are usually considered to belong to 
the Aryan family. The languages passed through different 
stages which are weU described in the second volume of Muir's 
" Sanskrit Texts." Hindi is written in Devanagari letters, slight- 
ly altered in a few cases. Kaithi is an imitation of Devanagari, 
used by traders and the lower classes of Natives. 

State of Education. — Over such a large area the progress of 
education is very various. According to Mr. Howell's Note on 
Education, during 1866-67 in the North West Provinces, among 
thirty millions of people occupying 81,378 square miles, there 
were 152,533 children in school— one in 198 of the population — 
taught at an expense of Rs. 1,231,295. In Oude among eight mil- 
lions, occupying 20,243 square miles, there were 15,154 pupils — 



INTRODUCTION. 4^ 

one in 549 of the population— while the expenditure was Es. 
242,301, Vernacular education has received considerable atten- 
tion in the North-West Provinces. In the Native States to the 
south of the Ganges, education is almost entirely neglected. 

General Literature. — The best account of Hindi Literature 
is still M. Garcih de Tassy's " Hiatoire de la Litterature Hindoui et 
Hindoustani/^ 2 vols., 8vo., printed in 1839, under the auspices 
of the Oriental Tran^ation Committee. The first volume con- 
tains sketches of 750 authors and notices of 900 books, from the 
12th century to the time of publication. The second volume 
gives analyses of some of the principal works. The Annual Ad- 
dresses of M. de Tassy at the opening of the Hindustani Course 
in Paris contain a great deal of information about recent works 
in Hindi and Urdu. The late Major Fuller had a Catalogue of 
Oriental Books found in the Punjab in preparation. A complete 
. work of the kind for North India is a great desideratum. The 
quarterly lists of new publications now issued by Government 
are useful. The native Press shows some activity. 

Prc^essof Christianity.— In 1862 the Hindi, Urdu, and 
Punjabi Districts contained the following : — 

European and American Missionaries 126 

Native Ministers 9 

Do. Catechisfcs 123 

Do. Communicants 1,573 

Do. Christians 5,720 

Pupils in Anglo-Vernacular Schools 6,426 

Do. Vernacular Schools 6,870 

1. Early Labourers. 
Tracts Pubj^ished by the Serampore Mission. 

The Serampore Missionaries commenced in 1803 a translation 
of the New Testament in what they supposed to be Hindi ; but 
they afterwards found that it more resembled Urdu. It was 
printed in 1811. The Old Testament was completed in 1818. 

The author of the first Tract in Hindi, so far as the compiler 
has been able to ascertain, was the ReV. J. Chamberlain of the 
Serampore Baptist Mission. He proceeded to Agra in 1811. 
Bis earliest efforts seem to have been translations into Hindi of 
some Bengali Tracts printed at Serampore. In 1820 he completed 
a translation of the New Testament into Hindi. 

The Rev. W. Bowley, who wrote some of the best Tracts in 
Hindi, was associated with Abdul Masih at Agra in 1814. He 
subsequently removed to Ohunar, where he laboured till his 
death. Mr. Bowley seems to have organized a Tract Association 
at Chunar, and printed large numbers of Tracts which h^ com- 



44 HINDI. 

posed. Scattered notices of his work are found in Missionary; 
and Tract Reports; but no detailed account seems available. 
In 1818 Mr. Bowley altered Martyn's Urdu New Testament, so 
as to render it acceptable to Hindus. 

The Eev. J. T. Thompson, of the Baptist Mission, who labour- 
ed at Delhi from 1817 till his death in 1850, pref>ared a number 
of Tracts in Hindi and Urdu, which he printed chiefly by means 
of local funds, with grants of paper from the Religious Tract 
Society. They are included in the list of. Tracts published by 
the Serampore Missionaries, which was drawn up by Mr. Thomp- 
son. It appeared in "Periodical Accoumts'^ for 1831, pp. 
347—9.

Previous to the establishment of the Agra Tract Society, the 
Calcutta Tract Society issued large numbers of publications in 
Urdu and Hindi. The following is a list of the Hindi Tracts, in the 
order in which they were issued. The total number of copies

ed in England at the expeuse of the Religious Tract Society, and 
the London Missionary Society. 

3. The Benaees Tract Society. 

The Benares Tract Society was instituted in 1827 ; but owing 
to the removal by sickness or death of some of its most active 
members, in 1829 it ceased to exist. In November, 1834, it was 
re-established for the Districts of Benares and Ohunar as a branch 
of the Calcutta Tract Society. The first Report, published in 
1836, states that during the 18 months the Society had been in 
operation, 25,000 Vernacular and 1,000 English tracts had been 
circulated. The income from subscriptions amounted t > Rs. 430, 
of which the sum of Rs. 350 had been remitted to Calcutta. In 
1840 the Benares Society was merged into the Calcutta Tract 
Society. The following year the Benares Association remitted 
Rs. 1,280 to Calcutta. 



THE BENARES TRACT SOCIETY. 47 

In 1844 the Benares Tract Society was re-established as a 
separate organization. It was sometimes styled "The Central 
North India Tract Society.*^ On the establishment of the Agra 
Tract Society in 1848, the Committee of the latter proposed 
amalgamation. This was declined at the time ; but the finances 
of the Benares Society being latterly not in a promising condition, 
in December, 1853, the Secretary, the Rev. C. B. Leupolt, pro- 
posed a union with the Agra Society, a measure which was carried 
out the following year. 

A list of the Hindi Tracts is given below. They are chiefly 
reprints. Most of them were revised by the Rev. W. Smith, 
Benares.

The Agra Tract Society was established on the 30th July. 1848. 
Mr. WiUiivm Muir, now Lieutenant-Governor of the Nortli-Wcst 
Provinces, conducted the preliminary correspondence, and after- 
wards became the President, The late Dr. Pfander was the firat 
Secretary. During the Mutiny in 1857, the whole of the Society's 
stock was destroyed. The transfer of the seat of Government of 
the North-West Provinces from Agra to Allahabad, rendered the 
latter more central, and the Society's head-quarters were removed 
thither early in 1858, A new title waa also assumed, viz., The 
North India Tract and Book Society. 

Copies of only the Sixth and Eighth Reports of the Agra Tract 
Society can now be found. The income, expenditure, and plant- 
ing are given below : —

HINDUSTANI, OR URDU. 

Origin. — Mir Amman of Delhi, in the preface to his popular 
Urdu book, the Bagh o Bahar, gives the following account of 
the origin of the Urdu language : — 

" I have heard from the lips of my ancestors the following account 
of the Urdu language : — The City of Delhi, in the opinion of the Hin- 
dus, has existed during the four Yugas. It was inhabited of old by 
their kings with their subjects, who spoke their own hhaJcha (dialect). 
A thousand years ago the rule of the Musulmans began. Sultan Mah- 
mud of Ohazni came. Then the Ghori and Lodi Dynasties held sway. 
In consequence of this intercourse, a certain mixture of the languages 
of the Hindus and Musulmans took place. At length Amir Taimur 
conquered Hindostan. ' In consequence of his arrival and residence, 
the bazar of the army was introduced into the city, and the bazar 

of the city came in consequence to be called Urdu When King 

Akbai^ ascended the throne, all races, learning the Hberality of that 
unequalled family and its patronage of merit, gathered round his court 
from all the surrounding countries; but the language of all these 
people was different. From their being collected, however, trafficking 



&l Hnrm. 

together, and talking with each eyiber^ a eacmp (Urdu) leingaage he- 
came established. .... At length, the Urdu language, being gradu- 
ally polished, attained such a degree of refinement, t£^t the Sipeech of 
no city can vie with it."* 

Latham says : — " It is essentially Hindi, as may be seen from 
both the voeabulary and the paradigms. At the same time it 
contains much Persian and some Arabic which is wanting in tJie 
true vernaculars. Above all, it is the language of the Mahome- 
tan rather than the Brahminic population of India.""!" 

Dialects. — In South India, where the Muhammadan popula- 
tion is comparatively small, fiindustani has be^i considerably 
affected by the Dravidian languages. The construction diflS&rs a 
good deal, and there are a number of woirds not used in the north. 
The Madras Bible Society has published the New Tesgbam^it'in 
this Dialect, which is called the DekhanL 

Hindi and Urdu, propwly so called, can readily 'be distinguiish^ 
ed. In some of the cities in North India, the language is so mixed> 
that it is diflScult to characterize it as the one or the other. Some 
writers use this dialect, seeking to combine the two. 

In Bengal, Musuhnans speak BengaH, with a large mixture of 
Persian and Urdu terms. A considerable number of books are 
printed iu this dialect, called Musulman Bengali. The Bengali 
•character is employed. The Musulman Tamils use a similar com- 
pound. With the spread of education, these dialects will gradu- 
ally disappear. 

Number by whom Spoken.— Urdu is the language of 

the camp over the country. It may be termed the official lan- 
guage of North India. Europeans use it, more or less, in com- 
municating with the people throughout the Bengal Presidency. 
The number speaking Hindujstani may be rougbly estimated at 
25 millions^ The proportion of the Muhajnmadan population, 
gradually diminishes, on the whole, from the Punjab to South 
India. In the Punjab the Musulmans are estimated to form two- 
liirds of the population ; in the North- West Provinces, onersixth ;, 
in Tinnevelly, in the extreme south, they are only about onet in 
twenty. 

Ohameter.— *Urd« is written in three characters, Persian; 
Ai^hie and Boman. The first is everywhere employed by the 
people themselves, and is greatly preferred. Their books are 
Kthographed. Arabic is used by Missionaries in the North- West. 
Plravmces, and to some extent by Government,, It is more com>- 
paot than the Persian and more easily printed. Nativesr acquaint*

INTRODUCTION. 63 

ed ODly with tfee Persian cannot read it; or only with diffi- 
culty. The Roman character was strongly advocated more than 
thirty years ago, by Sir Charles Trevelyan for the Indian ver- 
naculars. Urdu is» the only language in which it has been 
adopted to any extent,* and that has been confined to Europeans. 
Many of the vowel marks being usually omitted in printing, Urdu 
eannot be read eorrectly except by a person acquainted with the 
H^Qse. This difficulty is obviated by the Roman ehftraeter, with 
which Europeans are already familiar. The Roman character is 
learned in schools by Native Christians^ and book« for them are 
usually printed is Roman. 

The present state of things is very unfortunate. A book in 
Soman character paay be read perhaps by two thousand Native 
Christians ; one in Arabic will be intelligible to a much larger 
number ; but the masses can be reached onty through the Per* 
sian. About five-sixth of the publications of the North India 
Tract Soeiety are in Arabic, and cannot therefore be generaUy 
read except by native Christians. It is true that the circulations 
amounts to several thousands a vear, but it must be remember-' 
ed that it i» gratuitous. When the Agra Tract Society attemf^t* 
ed a selling series^ the books were lithographed. For circiida^ 
tioQ among Muhammadans and Hindus^ Tracts in Arabie are 
about as suitable as Tracts in black-letter would be in England* 
The publications of the Lodiana Mission a^e in Persian. 

Abstractly considered, the Roman character is the best ; but 
there is little prospect of its adoption at present. Its use has 
operated as a bar to the acquisition of the Persian character both 
on the part of Europeans and native Christians, mad necessitated 
printing in two characters, involving additional expense. It 
should therefore be discouraged. Tiiots for general eire«Iatibn 
should be in Persian. If Arabic were taught in all Government 
Schools, a knowledge of it would gradually become general. 

General Literature.^— This 1^ somewhat exteiudive. The 
valuable work by M. Garcin de Tassy on Hindi and Hindustaoi 
Literature has already been noticed. The Rev. J. Loalg quotes 
the following testimony from Dr. Sprenger with regard to Urdu 
literature:— 

^ One of the most remarkable resnlts ef the^pvq^ss of pvmtiligf is 
tile npid inepettse of periodiaal and li^|ht hteratuve^ These ia hardly 
a town in the. tJpper Proiriiiees in which there ture not sovfral newBpai-

they did in Europe, when the art of printing came into vogue. Th© 
tendency is oriental and Mahomadan, but already a spirit of liberality ia 
manifesting itself, which is the natural result of progress from school 
learning and correct refinement to a general civilization,"* 

1. Early Efforts. 

The first Christian work printed in Hindustani seems to havie 
been Sumrmda Doctrince OhrisUanody by the Rev. B. Schultze^ 
printed at the Orphan Press, Halle, in 1743. This was followed 
by a Refutation of the Koran.f Schultze was one of the only 
Tranquebar Missionaries, who removed to Madras in 1726. He 
devoted great attention to the Musulmans, and prepared a trans- 
lation of the whole Bible in the Dekhani. The MS. is preserved 
in the Royal Library, Berlin. J Portions were' printed at Halle, 
viz., The Psalter in 1747, the Gospel of Luke in 1749, and the 
Epistle to the Romans. 

The Gospels were translated into Hindustani by natives, and 
revised by Dr. W. Hunter of Calcutta. An edition was printed 
at the College Press, Fort William, in 1805, in the Nagri charac- 
ter. Martyn's translation of the New Testament was completed 
in 1808, but it was not printed till 1816. He prepared a trans- 
lation of the Parables for Schools, which was probably printed 
l)efore the New Testament. The Serampore Missionaries pub- 
lished a translation of the New Testament in Hindustani in 
1811. The Old Testament was first completed in 1842. 

The Rev. J. Chamberlain probably wrote most of the Urdu 
Tracts published by the Serampore Missionaries. The following 
list of them is given in the " Periodical Accounts" for 1831.: — 

1. The Gospel Messenger. 16 pp. By the Rev. J. Chamberlain. 

2. Ooliectian of OlwmberlairCs Tracts, 50 pp.

. Previous to the establishment pf the Agra Tract Society, the 
Calcutta Tract Society issued large numbers of publications in 
Urdu and Hindi The following is a list of the Urdu publications 
in the order in which they were issued. • The total number of 

copies printed seems to have been 594,900.

6. The Punjab Tract Society. 

The Punjab Bible and Tract Societies originated in the Mission" 
ary Conference, held at Lahore at the end of 1862. The Societies 
were established in January, 1863. Three Reports have since been 
published;, the first in 1864, the second in 1866, and the third in 
1869. Besides appearing at distant intervals, the Reports give 
very meagre information respecting the Society's vernacular work. 
Not one of them mentions the number of publications printed 
and circulated — the titles only are given.' The failure of the Agra 
and Masterman's Bank hindered operations for a time. Large 
amounts were due for books obtained from England, and printing 
had to be suspended. By means of Railway Bookstalls, a number 
of English books have been sold. The latest publications are in 
Urdu-Roman, a character almost totally unknown in the Punjab. 

The income and expenditure since the commencement have 
been as follows : —

7. American Peesbytbrian Mission, Lodiana. 

A much larger number of Urdu Publications has been printed 
by the above Mission than by any other agency. This has been 
mainly effected through liberal money grants from the American 
Tract Society, averaging for several years past Rs. 4,000 a year. 
Since the commencement, they have amounted to about £10,000. 
A press was brought from Calcutta to Lodiana in 1835; but 
little was done till the arrival of a printer from America at the 
end of 1838, During the next six years, a series of 37 Urdu 
Tracts was issued, as well as Publications in Hindi, Punjabi, &c. 
The Urdu Publications were printed in Persian character. The 
Press was destroyed during the Mutiny, but compensation for 
losses was received. Latterly Urdu Publications have been litho- 
graphed — which is greatly preferred by the people. 

The issue of a monthly tract was commenced in 1863, but it was 
found impossible to ma^intain such a frequent issue. At present 
^about4 or 5 tracts of this series are published yearly. 

The total number of Urdu publications, exclusive of Scriptures, 
seems to be 812,275. 

All the Mission Publications, except Psalms and Hymns, are 
furnished gratis to any oqo who may want them for circulation 
among the natives.

11. Secunpra Orphan Press. 

A. Press was established at Secundra^ 5 miles from Agra, in 
connection with the Church Mission Orphanage^ after the famine 
in 1888; It grew to such an extent that, before the Mutiny, a 
'large proportion of the Government printing at Agra was execut- 
• ^d l^y it. The Press was destroyed during the Mutiny, but the 
Native Christian workmen were employed at a Government 
Press afterwards established at Allahabad. A Press in cotinec- 
'^ion with the Orphanage was re-established, on a small scale/ at 
ScQundra, ip. 1861. The following is a li^t of the Urdu Public»-

13. Amritsab Mission. 

A few years ago, Maulvi Imad ud Din, a Teacher in the Go- 
vernment Norm«3 School, Lahore, was baptised by the Rev. R. 
Clark of the Amritsar Church Mission. A spirit of inquiry was 
excited, and as the new convert was a man of some learning and 
ability, he was encoiiraged to write several works, which were issu- 
ed at Che risk of the Rev. R. Clark. A grant was obtained from the 
Punjab Tract Society ; some copies were sold, &c. The following 
seem to have been published :— r

Probably no private individual in India has done more for 
Christian vernacular Literature than the late Commissioner of 
Benares. Besides very liberal donations to Tract Societies, he 
published a number of works on his account^ which he circulated 
freely. Many of them were destroyed during the Mutiny. A few 
copies of some of them can still be obtained at the Mirzapore Mis- 
sion Press. The Tract Societies in North India should pre- 
serve sets of them^ that they may at be reprinted any time.

96 PUNJABI. 

PUNJABI. 

The Punjab includes the large triangular district in the north-- 
west of India. The area is about 100,000 square miles, and the 
population about 15 millions. Punjabi is the dialect spoken by 
the greater part of the people^ especially in the villages. It is 
the language of the Sikhs. 

The claims of Punjabi to be considered a distinct language are 
disputed, though chiefly by Europeans who have not given much 
attention to its study. It is regarded by them as a Hindi patois^ 
and therefore they discourage its use. The best Punjabi scholars 
among Missionaries, consider that it ought to be recognised as a 
language ; and that, in any case, the millions by whom it is spoken 
should be provided, through its medium, with at least some Chris- 
tian literature. 

Punjabi is Usually written in Gurmukhi, the Devanagari alpha- 
bet slightly modified. Large numbers of books are published by 
the people in the Persian character. The language in the latter 
case, is probably greatly mixed. 

Education is spreading in the Punjab. The total number of 
pupils in the schools in 1867 was 97,698, or 1 to 155 of the popu- 
lation.* The total expenditure on education was Rs. 949,063. 

The Lodiana Mission of the American^ Presbyterian Church 
was commenced in 1834. Lahore was not occupied till 1849. In 
consequence of the comparatively recent establishment of Missions,, 
the number of convert is yet small. 

Christian Literature. 

With few exceptions, every Christian Tract and Book in the 
Punjabi language has been provided by the American Presbyte- 
rian Mission. The Mission Press at Lodiana, already noticed, has. 
sent forth a very large amount of Christian literature. 

The Serampore Missionaries published the New Testament in 
Punjabi in 1816 ; the Pentateuch in 1817, and the whole Scrip- , 
tures in 1826. The Rev. J. Newton, of the American Mission^ 
commenced a new translation in 1837. The New Testament 
and portions of the Old Testament were subsequently printed.

Maxwar, also caJled Jodhpore, is the most extensive of the Riy-

the i^ti^h Territoij of 4jniere, T^e Ma^rwari merehaJits are 
famed ov^r India for theif wealth and enterprie©. Mwy 9f tbe» 
reside in Ajmere for grefiter aeciirity. Marwari is oae of the 
principal dialects of Eajpootana. It haa not yet been fully inves- 
iigatea. "She Serampoi^ Missionaries published a traaslatioa of 
the New Testament in Marwari, but no Mission was eommenoed

OASHMIBI. 

The Seramporo Missionaries printed the New Testament and 
Pentateuch in this language.^ The only o^er Christian Publica- 
tion the compiler has heam of is. a small. Tract, '' A Sermon for 
the Whole World," 12mo. 18 pp., printed not later than 1844, 
^f the Lodibii^ Missipil^ SOO^dpieis. 

This is the langudge of the A%hans. It k spokeoito isoino 
extent in Briti^ In£a,. borderkig on Afghanistan, and traders 
from that county go as far as Calcutta., Pushtu, b^ongs to the 
Aryan family. Mie Petsian chailacter is used, yith a few modifi- 
cations. The native literature is toletably ccfpious in Poetry and 
History. 

Christian Mis^ons to the A%hans were commenced in 1855. 

A translation of the New Testament was /begun in 1810 by 
natives under the direction of Dr. L^dQUi, After his death the 
work was taken up by the Seramp^e Missoonariea. The Ne^ 
Stetameiit i^^as eompleied in 1818, the Pentateuch appeared in 
1821, and the Historical Books in 1832. ' 

A n6W trii^ation of the New I'estainent was- made by the 
late Rev. I. Loewenthal of .tiie American Presbyterian Mission. 

A I Pushtu Tract bh the Sohahip of Christ, by the Rev. R. 
Clark, was lithographed at Peshawar in 1859 for the North India 
Tract Socie^. 600 copies. One or two tracts have also been 
ptiblished by the Pofehawax Chxireii Mission. 

PBBSIAH. 

•fhd Moguls mdde Persian the court language et India^ aad it 
was used by the British -(jtever^ment in con'esppnding wiA native 
princes till the time of iord William fientinck, who substituted 
English. Until education begpn .to spread under the British 
Government^ Urdu was despised, and Persian and Arabic books 
were the otily 6nes studied by Muhtoiiriacians in North indict. 
tTrdti has b^eii lai^ely substituted in the NjortU-Wesl Provinces j 
but in the Punjab, Persian still Inaintains, to some exteW, its 
former position. The knowledge acquired of Persian is usually 
somewhat like that of the classical languages in England. 

Persian belongs to the Aryan family, but it contains a con- 
siderable number of Arabic words. The character is derived 
from the Arabic. 




100 PEBSIAK. 

A portion of the Scriptures was translated into Persian soon 
after Apostolic times. An edition of the Gospels^ by Colonel 
Colebrooke, was printed at Calcutta in 1864. Martyn's transla- 
tion of the New Testament was first printed at St. Petersburg in 
1815. The Old Testament, translated by Mr. Glen, was complet- 
ed in 1846.

PART II. 

THE BOMBAY PRESIDENCY. 



MARATHI. 

The People.-**Marathi is the principal language of the Bom-i 
bay residency. The Mahratta , country may be described as an 
irregular triangle. The shdre of the Arabian Sea for iabout 380 
miles, forms the base of the triangle * the apex is a point about 
700 miles in a north-easterly direction from Bombay, some dis- 
tance beyond Nagpore. The Portuguese possessions of Damaun 
and Goa, are the northern and southern boundaries on the coast. 
The strip of country, averaging about 40 mile<3 in breadth, 
between the Sea and the Western Ghats, is called the Concan. 
The table land o;f the Dekhan stretches eas^ard from the Ghats. 

The area of the Mahratta country may be roughly estimated at 
110,000 square miles, and the population at 14 millions. The 
Mahrattas are a small but hardy race of men. .They rose to con- 
siderable power after the death of Aurungzeba Their dominions 
extended across the peninsula, from sea to sea% 

Langnage.-^Marathi, says Dr. Wilson, has two distinct lin- 
gual elements, the Turanian and the Sanskrit, both of which are 
easily recognized. As the Sanskrit predominates in the number 
of vocables, Marathi is generally considered to belong to the 
Aryan family. The Devanagari cnaiactet*, slightly alterS, is usu- 
ally employed in books. It is often called Jbalbodh. A sort of 
running hand, called Mod, is generally used in common life« 

Literature.*— Dr. WUson says that the literature consistd 
chiefly of attempts in poetry to associate the popular gods of 
Western India with a mpdiBed Pantheism ; of poetical naii:atives 
from the Bama^ana, thePuranas, &c.; of love songs ; of historical 
memoirs of native princes ; and prose translations of tales. Of 
late years, translations have been made from English works. A 
Catalogue published by Sir Alexander Grant in 1866, gave the 
titles of about 400 printed works ; but it was far from complete. 
Several Marathi Newspapers are published. 

Edlloati011.«-yemacular education has received considerable 
attention in the Bombay Presidency. English education is also 
spreading. The number of pupils in schods, supported, aided, or 
inspected by Government, amounted in 1868|to 135,161. The jjro- 
portion under instruction was about one in 116 of the population. 



102 HAIUTHI. 

The total expenditure during the yeftr was Ra. 1,670,737, of 
which Ra. 867,830 was derived from Imperial Funds, and Bs. 
ii02,907 from Local Funds.* An Educational Cess has been in- 
troduced into a great paft of thfiPresIdeiicy. 

ProgrSBS of ObfiisldBlliliP'.— f ^Missions in ^Boml^Elj Were com- 
menced later than in the other Presidencies. The first was that 
of the American Board, estaBIIshed in 1813. At the begimung 
of 1862 the statistics of Mnlinitta MuaionB were as follows : —

5. The Bombay Tract and Book Socibtt. 

Origin. — About 1824, the Secretary of the Religious Tract So* 
ciety, in a letter to the Ajueri^jan Mission, Bombay, urged the ex- 
pediency of forming an Auxiliary on the principles of the Societies 
established at Madras and Calcutta, and oiBfered a grant of £30, if 
the Missions would unite for such a purpose. On the Wth De- 
cember 1827, a. few individuals assembled in the vestry of the 
Scotch Church in the Fort, Bombay, and formed a Society " in 
aid of the London ReUgious Tract Society." The Rev. D. O. 
Allen, of the American Mission, was the first Secretary. 

Depository. — One of the most note-wortby effects, in tbe his- 
tory of the Society, was. the obtaining of an excellent Depositcwy. 
The Report for 1848 contains the following statement,: — 

** ThQ Depository of the Society for the first five years was m the 
American Mission Chapel. It was then removed to the Scottish Mis- 
sion House at Ambroli, and subsequently to St, Andrew's Church, 
The accommodation in all these places was gratuitous. In lft44, an 
arrangement was made witli ai respectable bookseller for the care and 
disposal of the Society's books. At the instance of this party, this ar- 
istpgement hasf been discontinuedv and the CommiiteQ luivek taken rooms 
at the corner of Church. Gate Street and Church Lane, i^early opposite 
tbe Cathedral, in which boi^ the English and Vernacular departments 
aTjO now accommodated. They wet;e very unwilling to incur the ex^ 
pense; but the amount of accommodatioi^ now required, and the 
amount of business to be done, rendered such a step absolutely neces- 
sary." 

The Report for 1849 urged that a further st6p should be 
taken : — 

'' Only one other additional want will be referrepl to in this Report ; 
and that is the want of a properly situated, permanent Dbpositobtv • 

Its Dcpoiutory abould be in a^ conspictious public place, where it 
would attract the attention of Europeans, Naiivesj and strangers from 
the neighbouring regions. It shoold be permanent too^ a& well aa-at-

iraciiYio in appearance, 3o that gradually it may becomtd generally 
known as a place where publications in all the viarious languages spokeu 
in this part of the world are procurable. This would materially in- 
crease the Society's usefuliiess ; and without this, it can but partiaUy 
fulfil its mission." 

A special appeal i?7as made for a Building Fund. First a site, 
in a most eligible situation, was purchased for about Ea. 4,<)00. 
The building was estimated to cost Es. 10,000. An effort was 
made to oi)tMn donations of Rs. 100 eiich: from T>*ne htliidi'ed indi- 
viduals. By persevering exertions, the object was gained. The 
building was completed by the end of 1856. The Report for 1856 
contains the following acknowledgment :— 

" It is to our late lamented Secretary, the Rev. R. W. Hilme, that 
we are mainly indebted under Provideilc^, for the existence of this 
Depository. It was he that gave currency to the scheme, and labored 
for a number of years to see it matured. We hope that his name may 
be ever associated with this building, and the very valuable impulse 
given by him to the operations of tlie Society, may by meang of it be 
kept in memory." 

The building contaiiis three stories. The lowest is occupied by 
the Tract Depository ; the second is let to the Bombay Bible So- 
ciety, and the third to a private party. The Society has not only 
excellent aceonkijiodation free of charge, but receives upwards of 
Re. 2,000 a year as rent. The building has virtually added Bs. 
3,500 a yeat to the permanent income of the Society, 

8ft]i6 ot I^eriddicals. — Thq Bombay Tract Society circulated 
the foil6wing monthly, dnring 1867 :— 

Leisure Hour, 110; Sunday at Honie, 100; Cottager, 1[5i 
Child s Companion, 60 ; Tract Magazine, 24 ; British Workman,

The sales have quadrupled during the last six years. 

SeUillg System.— The Bombay Tract Society has tiie honor 
of originating the system of selUng Tracts in India. An account 
of its gradual development is given in the Introduction.

INTRODrCTION. 125 

GUJARATI. 

The People. — The Gujarati population of India inhabit the 
Districts surrounding the Gulf of Cambay. Damaun is the boun- 
dary on the south coast of the Gulf; Bajpootana on the north ; 
and the Gulf of Cutch in the west. The area may be roughly 
estimated at 50,000 square miles, and the population at six mil- 
lions. Gujarat Proper is so fertile that it has been called the 
*• Garden of India." 

A great part of Gujarat is imder native princes, some of whom 
greatly oppress their subjects. The people are industrious and 
noted as traders; but in general, they are very superstitious. 
Jains are more numerous in Gujarat than in any other part of 
India. 

Language. — Gujarati bears a considerable resemblance to 
Hindi. The Turanian element in the language is not large. Th6 
alphabet is derived from the Devanagari. 

General Literature. — The indigenous literature is not very 
extensive, and partakes of the usual character. Several useful 
modern works have been published by the Gujarat Vernaxjular 
Society. A good series of school books has been published for 
Government Schools. During 1867-8 the number of Marathi 
books sold by the Bombay Educational Department was 172,482, 
and the Gujarati, 108,496. In proportion to the population, the 
(jfujarati sales exceeded the Marathi. {Several Gujarati newspapers 
are published — three of them daily for commercial purposes. 

Education. — Vernacular education is making considerable 
progress in British territory, through means of an educational 
cess. In 1868 there were 730 schools, with 47,888 pupUs. 

Progress of Christianity. — The first Mission to Gujarat 
was commenced in 1813 at Surat, by the Rev. A. Fyvie of the 
London Missionary Society. The Irish Presbyterian Church sent 
out Missionaries in 1840, who settled first in the Katiwar Penin- 
sula. In 1846 the Surat London Mission was transferred to the 
Irish Presbyterians, and in 1859 the remaining stations of the 
London Missionary Society were handed over to them. At 
the beginning of 1862 the statistics of the Mission were as 
follows: —

The Parsis, who came originally from Persia, use some Persian' 
words mixed with Gujarati, and make a few otiier changes. This 
dialect is called Parsi-Gujarati The Univei>sit^^£l£aminatioDS[ 
are gradually compelling the Parsis to use pure Gi^a^ti. 

The New Testament has been published in Parsi-Gujarati by 
the Bombay Bible Society. The following Publications have also 
been issued by the Bomi)ay Tract Society : — . , 

Letter to a Parsi. 12mo. 28 pp. 1850. 3 pie.

Most of the above are by the Rev. Dhanjibhai Nouroji, himself 
a Parsi convert. He also edited for some years a monthly peri- 
odical for the Parsis, called the Barribad or Dawn.

'* Sindhi," says Lepsius, " differs in essential points from the

guage of its neighbourhood. Thuattie Katchi* diAlaei has G^aOtti 
elemeutfi, and ^ dialect belonging to the Thull or Desert> and spo- 
ken as far as Jessuhnir, has borrowed from qr given to the !{i£ar^ari.t 

Sind, on the lower Indus^ has a population of jaearly two mil- 
lions, of whom probably three-fourths speak Sindhi* The Rev4 J, 
Sheldon^ to whom the compiler is indebted for the list below, ^s- 
timates that 1,200,000 of the Sindhi speaking population are Mu- 
hammadans, and 300^000 Hindus. The former use the. Arabic 
character ; the latter chiefly the Gurmukkhi. The use of the Ara- 
bic is thus recommended by Dr. Trumpp :^— 

" The Ifeamed Capt. George Stack has in his valuable works lised the 
Devanagari characters, which no doubt, are best 6uited to a purely 
Aryan Tongue, such as Sindhi is ;' but the country having changed 
its rehgion, and adopted with the.Kpjran the Arabio alphabet, the in- 
troduction of the Devanagari system would only tend to exclude the 
mass of the p^ple ifom all further instruction/ '| 

. . Sindhi literature coaosists chiefly of some treati^^a on Muhd^n- 
madanism and the Sufi system, with legends and ballads. 

In 1861 the number of schools, Government and Aided, was 
62, containiDg 3>672 pupils. 

S^d was first occupied by the Church Missionary, Sodety iir 
1850. In 1862 there was ihiee European Missionaries, 19 Com* 
municants^ 44 Native Christians, and 112 children in school. 

ChBISTUN LlTJBEATUKE. 

In 1815 the Serampore Missionaries comnfeuced a version o^ 
the New Testament in this dialect, but only Matthew was printed 
in 1825, and the translation was laid asida In 1849 Capfc. Stack 
finished a trsHislation of Matthew, and 500 copies were printed. 
The Chtireh Missionaries afterward translated the four Gospels, 
Acts, and Genesis. The following Publications have also been 
issued :-^

INTRODUCTION. 

Territorial Limits. — The great plain of the Carnatic is the 
seat of the Tamil race. From Pulicat, 20 miles north of Madras, 
it stretches along the coast nearly to Trevandrum, Westward it 
is bounded by the Ghats. Tamil is also the language of about 
half the population of Ceylon. Including North Ceylon, the area 
of the Tamil country is about 60,000 square miles, nearly the 
same as that of England and Wales. Tamil is the vernacular of 
about 12 millions. 

Language. — Tamil belongs to the Dravidian or Southern fami- 
ly of languages, aad contains the smallest infusion of Sanskrit, 
though it amounts to about 40 per cent. The alphabet is sup- 
posed to be derived from the early Devanagari, or from the still 
earlier characters that are contained in the cave inscriptions. 

Literature.— Dr. Caldwell thus estimates Tamil Literature : — 

" Though Tamil literature, as a whole, will not bear a comparison 
with Sanscrit literature as a whole, it is the only vernacular literature 
in India which has not been content with imitating the Sanscrit, but 
has honorably attempted to emulate and outshine it. In one depart- 
ment, at least, that of ethical epigrams, it is generally maintained, and 

18 



138 TAMIL. 

s 

t think must be admitted, that the Sanscrit has been outdone by the 
Tamil."* • 

As it is only about thirty-five years since the Tamils began to 
print any of their classical works, many of them are yet found 
only in manuscript. In I860, the compiler prepared a " Classified 
Catalogue of Tamil Printed Books, with Introductory Notices." 
In all, 1,755 titles are given. The works enumerated are classifi- 
ed as follows : — Protestant Theology, 587 ; Roman Catholic Theo- 
logy, 87 ; Hindu Works, 508 ; Muhammadan, 36 ; Jurisprudence, 
19; Philosophy, 50; Natural Science, including Medicine, 62; 
the Arts, 6 ; Poetry, 72 ; the Drama, 25 ; Prose Fiction, &c., 50 ; 
Philology, including Educational Works, 176; Geography and 
History, ] 2 ; Periodicals and Newspapers, 20 ; Books for Euro- 
peans studying Tamil, 34. 

The native publications consist almost entirely of reprints. 
There is a great lack of original works. 

Tamil Typography. — The compiler is indebted to the Rev. 
C. E. Kennet for the following extract regarding the earliest print- 
ing in Tamil : — 

" The first book printed in this country was the Doctrhia Christiana 
of Giovanni Gonsalvez, a lay brother of the Order of the Jesuits, who, 
as far as I know, first cast TamuUc characters in the year 1577. Af- 
ter this, appeared in 1578, a book entitled JF^Zos Sanctorum, which was 
followed by the Tamulic Dictionary of Father Antonio de Proenza, 
printed in the year 16 79^ at Arabalacate on the coast of Malabar." t 

Type was cut at Halle in 1710. Tamil typography owes its pre- 
sent excellence chiefly to Mr. R. P. Hunt, formerly Superinten- 
dent of the American Mission Press, Madras. 

State of Education. — Education has made greater progress 
in the Tamil country than in the other Districts of the Madras 
Presidency. In 1868, the Presidency contained 1,687 schools 
under Government, Aided, or simply Inspected, containing 62,975 
pupils. The total Government expenditure on education was 
Es. 843,398, of which Rs. 710,740 was derived from Imperial, 
and Rs. 1 32,658 from Local Funds. English education has 
been chiefly encouraged in Government Schools. The Vernacu- 
lar Schools are mostly connected with Missions. The education 
of the people through their own language is now to receive more 
attention. 

Progress of Christianity.— Protestant Missionaries in India 
first laboured among the Tamils, and ever since they have enjoy- 
ed a large share of Christian effort. Nearly two- thirds of the na- 
tive converts in India, exclusive of Burmah, are Tamils. Ziegen- 
balg and Plutscho landed at Tranquebar in 1706.

1. Tab Holy Scriptures. 

In 1688, the Dutch in Ceylon commenced the translation of 
the New Testament ; and in 1694, that of the Old Testament. The 
work, however, was not carried on regularly. The Tranquebar 
Missionaries printed the first edition of the New Testament in 
1715, The Old Testament and Apocrypha were completed in 1728. 
Fabricius revised carefully the early translation. The New Testa- 
ment was printed in 1772, and the Old Testament in 1777. In 
1826, the New Testament, revised by Rhenius, was printed. A 
new version, principally prepared by the Rev. P. Percival, was 
printed in 1850. In 1856, a meeting of Delegates, appointed by 
several Missionary Societies, met to consider the best means of 
obtaining a standard version. The work was intrusted to the 
Rev. H. Bower, aided in revision by delegates from the principal 
Missiotis. The printing of the New Testament was completed 
in 1864. The Old Testament is now passing through the press. 

2. Publications of the Tranquebar Missionaries. 

The first attempt at printing by Protestants was made at 
Halle in 1710, when the Apostles' Creed w^as struck off. In 1711 , 
the Christian Knowledge Society sent out a printing press, with 
Roman type, to Tranquebar. Not long afterwards, Tamil type 
was received from Halle. Other fount were afterwards prepared 
at Tranquebar. Before giving a list of the Tranquebar Publica- 
tions, two Tamil works printed at Halle may be mentioned : —

4. Madras Diocesan Committee, S. P. C. K.f 

The Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge was the 
first to aid Protestant Missions in India. As already mentioned, 
the Society sent out a printing press to Tranquebar in 1711, and 
from that time to the present, more or less assistance has been 
given to Missions. 

In 1761 th« Government allowed the Missionaries at Vepery, 
Madras, the use of a Press taken at Pondicherry. The stores were 
furnished by the S. P. C. K. In 1 792 the Society presented the 
Vepery Mission with a Press of its own. From 1810 to 1819 the 
Press was closed. The Madras Diocesan Committee of the S. P.C. 

 Journal, Royal Asiatic Society. New Series, Vol. I. p. 141. 
t The compiler is indebted to the Secretary, the Rev. 0. B. Kennet, for most of 
the information nnder this head, as well as for other valuable aid. 



MADRAS BRANCH, S.P.C.K. . 14S 

K. was established in 1815. Bishop Middleton called attention 
to the Press, and in 1820 it was re-opened. The grants of the 
Parent Society in stores till 1847, were sometimes as high as 
£1,000 a year. 

In 1861 the Press was sold. When the fine Printing Establish- 
ment of the American Mission was exposed for sale in 1866, it was 
bought by the Madras Committee of the S. P. C. K. for Bupees 
40,000. Important service has thus been rendered to Tamil 
Christian Literature. 

Information regarding the early Tracts and Books printed at 
the Vepery Press is very incomplete. The following list includes 
several publications, printed for private persons, as well as those 
published by the Society.

This is the oldest existing Tract Society in India, and is the 
only one which has yet celebrated its Jubilee. A full and inter- 
esting account of its history will be found in the " Jubilee Memo- 
RLAii," prepared by the Rev. R. C. Macdonald. A few of the lead- 
ing fisLcts may be mentioned. 

In September 1817, the Rev. W. 0. Loveless wrote from Madras 
to the Religious Tract Society, acknowledging the receipt of a 
grant of £50 for the publication of native Tracts. He mentioned 
that Mr. Knill was preparing two tracts in TamU.

146 TAMIL. 

The Meeting for the formation of the Madras Tract Society was 
held in the Church Mission House, Bkck Town, in compKance 
with the proposal contained in an address signed by the Rev. 
Messrs. Loveless, Pritchet, EJienius and Schmid. The Rev. C. T. 
E. Rhenius was appointed the first Secretary. 

For several years after the formation of the Society, only Tracts 
were circulated. In general, applications for them came from 
Missionaries in the country, which were considered at the monthly 
meetings of Committee. It was not considered necessary to have 
paid clerks, and the Wesleyan Missionaries ffave the use of 
a room under their Chapel in Popham's Broadway to hold the 
stock. Attendance was given at the Depository three times a 
week. 

The first list of English hoohs for sale at the Depository appears 
at the epid of the Report for 1832. It contains nine titles. The 
list, the following year, has 26 titles. In 1834, about 200 different 
works .were kept on sale, and in 1835, the Depository^ was opened 
daily. 

In 1851, a School-Book Fwnd was formed. By the end of 1856, 
the School-Book Fund was considerably in debt, and the Com- 
mittee proposed that the South India Christian School Book So- 
ciety should take over the stock at a fair valuation, and sell its 
publications in the Depository, paying the same proportion of the 
expenditure. In 1861, the sale of school books having increased, 
one-half of the fixed expenditure of the Depository was charged 
to the Christian Vernacular Education Society. 

Separation of Accounts.— The Madras Committee have 
adopted an arrangement in keeping accounts which ought to be 
generally followed. The English Book Fund and the Vernacular 
Publication Fund are kept distinct. The advantages of this are 
explained in the Chapter in the Introduction on Depository Ac- 
counts. 

Tabular StatementS.—Many of. the early Reports do not 
give details of great importance. In some cases not even the 
titles of publications printed are given ; very frequently the num- 
bers printed of each are not stated ; occasionally books in differ- 
ent languages are lumped together simply as " Bound Volumes." 
This has prevented information being given as to the numbers 
I)rinted of each Tract, as has been done in the case of the Calcutta 
and the Bombay Societies. No copy of the Report for 1849 has 
been preserved.

SOUTH travancore:* 169 

6. Tract Societies in South Tratancore* 

The information given below has been chiefly furnished by the 
Rev. E. Baylis, Secretary of the ISouth Travancore Tract and 
Book Society. 

Although Missionary operations were commenced in South 
Travancore in 1805 by Mr. Ringletaube, they were not carried on 
with much regularity or success till the settlement of the Rev, 
C. Mead in 1818, and of the Rev. 0. Mault in 1819. 

The Rev. C. Rhenius removed to Tinnevelly in 1820. At such 
a distance from Madras^ the want of an adequate supply of Tracts 
was deeply felt. A Tract Society for South Travancore and Tin- 
nevelly was therefore formed. The following account of its es- 
tablishment is given in the Fifth Report of the Madras Tract 
Society. 

k 

** On the 31st of October last (1822), we formed here, Palamcottah, 
a Native Tract Association, in conjunction with another forming at the 
same time at Nagercoil. Both constitute bat One Society, called the 
Kagercoil Religious Tract Association, upon the same principles as 
yours, and in direct correspondence with the Parent Society in Lon-> 
don. The Rev. Mr. Mead is the principal Secretary, Mr. Mault, the 
Treasurer : each Branch has likewise its sub -secretaries, sub-treasurers, 
Ac. Of that in Palamcottah, we ourselves, and six Native Christians 
constitute the Committee.** 

The Annual Meetings were held at Nagercoil and Palamcottah 
on the same day. During the first ten years the number of tracts 
printed, (part of which were single epistles) was 261,000, and the 
income, chiefly from the contributions of Native Christians, 
Rs. 8,648. 

About 1830, the Neyoor Branch formed itself into a separate 
Society, called " The JSeyoor Tract Society!' 

In 1844, a friendly separation took place between the Nager- 
coil and Palamcottah Branches, the funds and tracts being equal- 
ly shared. The Palamcottah Branch was then termed " The Tin- 
nevelly Tract Society!* 

In 1856, the Nagercoil and Neyoor Branches were united under 
the title of " The South Travancore Tract and Book Society!' The 
two printing presses at these respective places, which are only 
about ten miles apart, were brought together to Nagercoil. 

The Receipts, Expenditure, and Printing since the union are 
given below t

The publications include 164,000 Tracts for Adults, 211,000 
HandbiUs, 61.000 Tracts for ChUdren, 12,500 Catechisms, 533,100 
Periodicals, and 10,200 Books. 

The Society possesses special interest from the fact, that it is 
almost entirely sustained by the contributions of Native Christians. 
The claims for the support of a Native Ministry will, for a time, 
affect the income ; but since the commencement, the Society has 
done, comparatively, a great work. Many of the Tracts have 
long ago disappeared from circulation; but copies of nearly all 
have been preserved in bound volumes by Catechists, and doubt- 
less the substance of them has often been given in addresses.

8. The Jaffna Religious Tract SocieIt. 

In 1816, J. N. Mooyart, Esq.,the Rev. J. Lynch, and a few others, 
formed at Jaffna an Association Auxiliary to the Colombo Bible 
Society, which then united the distribution of tracts with that 
of the Scriptures. The following publications were jirinted in 
Colombo between 1813 and 1818 :— 

The Saviour* 8 Discourses. 2,000. 
Sermon on the Mount 2,000. 
Parables of our Lord, 2,000. 
Miracles of our Lord. 2,000. 
Chreation. 2,000. 
Folly of Idolatry. 2,000. 

The Rev. Dr. Spaulding thus describes the difficulties experi- 
enced at jSrst in obtaining supplies of Tracts : — 

" My own recollections of Tract distribution in this country go 
back to 1820, soon after my aiTival in Jaffna. I was then with Mr. 
Poor in Tillipally. In those days it was the custom of aU the Mission- 
aries to spend each afternoon from 4 o'clock to sunset» or after, in the 
villages, talking with the people from house to house, and distributing 
tracts. I came home one evening and said to Mr. Poor, ^ I have found 
some people who can read. Have you any tracts for distribution P* 
* Yes, plenty of tracts ! There they are on the bottom shelf.* 

** I went to help myself, and found, perhaps, a hundred tracts of 
all sorts and sizes. Some from Tranqnebar in the old elephant-footed 
type, some from Madras, and some from Colombo, printed in the old 
Colombo pot-hook type, such as I have not seen for many years. Of 
these, I took some half dozen, which Mr. Poor thought a large supply 
for once. The whole stock, however, was soon gone." 

A printer afterwards came out from America to join the Ameri- 
can Jaffiia Mission ; but the Governor of Ceylon ordered him to 
quit the Island within 15 days. Dr. Spaulding adds : — 

" We commenced with new energy the preparation and distribution 
of tracts on the ola (palm leaf). We employed those schoolmasters 
and pupils who could write a fair hand, and gave a pice (id.) for 
each full closely written four-paged tract. These were carried in onr 
hands, and sometimes for a time they were strung on a small card, and 
swung on the horse's neck. Progress was slow, but it was in the right 
direction, and beyond the wrath of the king."* 

The Jaffna Religious Tra<5t Society was instituted on the 19th 
February, 1 823. The Rev. J. Knight was the first Secretary.

THE JAFFNA RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY. 173 

The Jaffiia Committee proposed that the Society should form a 
Branch of the Madras Society, but the Committee of the latter 
recommended that the new association should be united directly 
with the Parent Society. 

Supplies of tracts were at first obtained from Madras; but the 
Church Missionaries at Cotta, near Colombo, sent a press to JaflBaa, 
and in November, 1825, an edition of 5,000 copies of the first tract. 
Spiritual Light, was struck ofi* at Nellore, Jaffna. From 1825 to 
1833, printing was executed at Nellore. In 1834, the American 
Missionaries were allowed to purchase the Church Mission Press, 
which they enlarged and improved. The American Tract Society 
gave large grants of money, amounting, up to 1866, to Rs. 65,650. 
In 1837, the number of publications printed was 409,300. Dur- 
ing 1823 — 33, the number of tracts printed was 570,442. Between 
]834 and 1855, there were printed 2,093,000 tracts for adults, 
502,500 tracts for children, and 333,720 volumes and Almanacs : 
total 2,9^9,220. So far as the compiler can ascertain, the num- 
ber of publications printed between 1856 and 1867 was 341,350. 
Grand total, 3,841,012. 

The ravages of cholera, two or three years ago, interfered, for a 
time, with the Society's operations ; but recently work has been 
vigorously resumed.

10. Missions op the Ambrican Board. 

The Church Mission Press, Madras, purchased about 1838 by 
the American Mission, became, under the able and zealous supetin- 
tendence of Mr. P. R. Hunt, the finest Mission establishment in 
India, and rendered very important service in improving Tamil 
and Telugu typography. American Missionaries have written 
some of the most effective Tamil tracts, and their labours in the 
preparation of Dictionaries have proved of great benefit to stu- 
dents of Tamil. Most of the tracts and books written by them 
have been published by the Local Tract Societies. Large edi- 
tions of many of them, however, have also been published by the 
Missions, aided by liberal grants from the American Tract Society. 
The grants to the Madras Mission up to 1866, amounted to Rs. 
45,500, and to the Madura Mission to Rs. 24,500. 

As early as 1853, the Mission Series included at least 24 publi- 
cations ; but the compiler has been unable to obtain a set of them. 
Latterly, the tracts have not been numbered. The titles of such 
as have been met with are given below : —

MALAYALAM. 

Intboduction. 

LaDguage. — This language is noticed next to Tamil, because 
it has the greatest resemblance to it of all the Dravidian lan- 
guages. Dr. Caldwell says, " The Malay alam being, as I con- 
ceive, an ancient offshoot of the Tamil, differing from it chiefly 
by the disuse of the personal terminations of the verbs, it might 
perhaps be regarded rather as a very ancient dialect of the Tamil 
than as a distinct language.'^ Through Brahmanical influence, 
the proportion of Sanskrit is large. The Malavalam character is 
derived from the Qrantham, in which Sanskrit is written in the 
Tamil country. 

The People.^^The Malayalam people inhabit the south- 
western coast of India from about Tellicherry to Trevandrum. 
The Ghats form the eastern boundary. The country consists 
" chiefly of hills and dales, intersected by streams running from 
east to west, and forming large backwaters connected with the 
sea. These and not roads form the great medium of commimi- 
cation between the districts. The village system is little known, 
and the inhabitants live, each in own palm garden, along the 
banks of the rivers and paddy lands.'^f 

Dr. Caldwell supposes that the Malayalam people were origin 
nally a colony of Tamilians, who entered the country by the Pal- 
ghaut Gap, and thence spread northward and southward. Their 
number may be estimated at three milliona 

Education. — The southern part of the Malayalam country is 
included in the native states of Cochin and TravanoOTe. Under 
recent enlightened administrations, education has been spreading. 
In 1868 the British district of' Malabar contained in sAl 47 Schools, 
with 3,814 pupils, connected with Government.

Literature.— The indigenous literature is very scanty. 

Progress of Cliristianity.— There have been Syrian Chris- 
tians in the Malayalam country for many centuries. Soon after 
the Portuguese began to acquire power in India^ many of the 
Syrian Christians fell under the dominion of the Church of Rome. 
The visit of Dr. Claudius Buchanan to South India in 1806, di- 
rected attention to the Syrian Church. Colonel Munro, the Bid- 
tish Resident in Travancore, applied for clergy from England to 
instruct the Syrians. In 1816 the Reiv. Messrs. Bailey, Baker, 
and Fenn> Avere sent out by the Church Missionary Society. In 
1862 the Statistics of Protestant Missions were as follows : — 

European Missionaries 28

CHRISTIAN LITERATURE. 

1. The Scriptures. 
In 1807 Dr. Buchanan made arrtogements for the translatioi\ 
of the Scriptures into Malayalam, by Mar Dionysius and three 
Assistants, under the superintendence of Col. Macaulay the Resi- 
dent. The Gospels were printed at Bombay about 1809. In 
1817 it was resolved to translate anew the whole Scriptures and 
print them at Cottayam. The Rev". B. Bailey specially devoted 
himself to the work, but he was aided by other Missionaries. Con- 
siderable assistance was derived from theTamil version of Fabricius. 
As neither Malayalam type nor a printing press was at that time 
procurable, Mr. Bailey, guided by the Encyclopcediob BHttanica, 
with the help of a uative blacksmith, made both the punches and 
type, and also a wooden press. In 1826 Luke^s Gospel was print- 
ed, aiidin 1829 the New Testament was completed. The Old 
Testament was not ready till 1841. 

2. Tract Associations. 
The Malayalam Tract Association, for all the Malayalam Dis- 
tricts of Cochin and Travancore occupied by the Church Mission- 
aiy Society and the London Missionary Society, seems to have 
been formed about 1830.. During 1833 the number of publica- 
tions printed amounted to 73,^20. In 1842 there was a separa- 
tion into the " North Travancore and Cochin Tract Association" 
and the " Quilon and Trevandrum Tract Association." . This 
latter Society had up to 1866 published 32 Tracts in Malayalam. 
As the information regarding the Tract Societies is so very scanty, 
lists will be given according to the Missions.

So far as the Oompiler has been able to asceitain, the firsfc

600 copies of a Pastoral Letter addi*essed by the Metropolitan of 
the Syrian Church to his dergy, and 400 copies of the Sermon on 
the Mount.* The following publications were subsequently issui

CANARESE. 

Territorial Limits. — Canarese, properly Kannadi or Kar- 
nataka, is spoken throughout the plateau of Mysore, and north-

ward as far as Beder in the Nizam's territory. It is also the pre- 
vailing language in Canara on the Western Coast. The area of 
the Canarese country may be roughly estimated at 65,000 square 
miles, and the population M 9 millions. 

Language, &C. — Canarese is one of the Dravidian languages,. 
The Alphabet is nearly the same as the Teliigu, The indigenous 
literature has not been fully investigated. There area few origi- 
nal works ; but the bulk of the literature consists of translations, 
from the Sanskrit. The Canarese are behind both the Tamils, 
and Telugus in the use of the Press. It is only within a very 
few years that any Canarese Printing Press was owned by a. 
Native. 

* 

Typography. — The first Canarese type was obtained from 
Madras. The Wesleyan Mission Press was established at Banga- 
lore in 1840. DiflFerent Missionaries in charge of it devoted great 
attention to the improvement of Canarese type. Several founts; 
of great beauty, were prepared by Mr. Watts in London under 
their direction. 

Education. — An educational census was taken of Mysore 
about ten yearis ago. It was found that the proportion of readers 
to the population was 2| per cent. Since that time, education 
has made some progress, and its more rapid extension may be 
looked for hereafter from the proposed educational cess. Things 
however, are very backward in the Nizam's Territories. 

Progress of Christianity.— The first Protestant Mission 
to the Canarese was commenced at Bellary, by the Kev. John 
Hands, of the London Missionary Society, in 1810. The Wes- 
leyan Missionary Society established a Tamil Mission at Bangalore 
in 1821, but it was not till 1833 that the Eev. T. Hodson 
commenced a Mission among the Canarese. The Missions of the 
Basel Society were begun in 1834. The Statistics of Protestant 
Missions in 1862 were as follows :— 

European Missionaries 47 

Native Ministers  6

CHRISTIAN LITEKATURK 

1, The Sceiptuees. 

In 1809, the Seram pore Missionaries had translated the New 
Testament into Canarese, but the printing was not completed till 
1817. Mr.^Hands made a translation of the Gospels and Acts, 



©•^^ 



222 CANARESE. 

which was printed in 1820 by the Calcutta Bible Society. In 
1825, the translation of the New Testament by Mr. Hands was 
completed. Mr. Reeve aided greatly in the translation of the 
Old Testament, the printing of which was not finished till 1831. 
A revised translation Avas afterwards published. 

2. The Bellary Tract Society. 

This Society, the first formed in India, was established in 1817 
by the Rev. J. Hands. The local Report thus speaks of it : — 

" The aRtronomer's joy in discovering new planets in the natural 
world is trifling and insignificant Qorapared with the exuHing triumpli 
and refined bliss of the Christian as he beholds new lights rising in the 
hemisphere of the moral world, and the old ones shining with greater 
power and brilliancy. Our Auxiliary Tract Society is only a little star ; 
but still it must not, will not, cannot be despised, for its twinkling 
light has safely guided, we believe more than one benighted traveller 
to the regions of bliss." 

A few scattered notices in the Parent Society's Reports form all 
the information the compiler has been able to collect regarding 
this Society. Till the establishment of the London Mission Press 
in 1826, printing seems to have been executed at Madrias. In 
1824 the number of publications printed in.Canarese and Telugu 
was 28,000; in 1834, 23,800 ; in 1847, 37,799 ; in 1850, 14,000. 
Tbe establishment of a very efficient press at Bangalore by the- 
Wesleyan Mission rendered a Press at Bellary less necessary, and 
• about 1854 it was given up. The Society seems about the same 
time to have ceased operations.

3. The Bangalore Tract and Book Society. 

Information reigarding the early history of this Society is want- 
ing, and so far as the compiler has been able to ascertain, there is 
no complete set of its Reports, which were issued at irregular 
periods. 

The Parent Society's Report for 1825 has the following : — 
" At Bangalore a Branch Society has been established in connection 
with the Bellary Auxiliary, At this place there is a public Depository 
for Religious Tracts and other books in Teloogoo, Canara, Tamul, and 
Hiudoostanee.^^ 

The Bangalore Bible and Tract Society was established in 1837. 
Two years after, another Society was established, termed, " The 
School Book Society." About the close of 1852, the Bible De- 
partment became a separate Society, while the Tract Department 
and the School Book Society were amalgamated. 

Perhaps the special feature of interest in the Bangalore Society 
is its Depository. From the commencement, useful books of all 
kinds, as well as religious works from various publishers, have 
been kept on hand. Extensive business has also been done in 
stationery. The proceeds of the last amount to about one-third 
of the sales, and the ra.tes are very remunerative. The Society 
owns an excellent Depository built in 1855 at a cost of Rs. 4,000. 

The Report for 1861—63 says :— 

" The Committee cannot but feel thankful that, by means of the 
Society's Depository, thousands of volumes of valuable books in Eng* 
lish, chiefly of a religious character, have been put into circulation. 
A two-fold advantage has been thus secured, — a healthy literature has 
been circulated among the community — and the profits derived from the 
sale of such books, have enabled the Committee to print and circulate 
vernacular tracts, and to supply school-books at low"-prices." 

Of late years part of the profits has been divided among the 
Missions in Bangalore to support vernacular schools. In 1866 
the sum divided in this way was Rs. 650. The gross receipts 
from sales average about Rs. 10,000 a year.

232 TULU. 

TULU. 

" Last in the list of cultivated Dravidian tongues," says Dr. 
Caldwell, ^' is the Tulu, or Tuluva ; an idiom holding a position 
midway between the Canarese and the Malayalam, but more 
nearly resembling the Canarese. This language was once gene- 
rally prevalent in the District of Canara, but is now spoken only 
in a small tract of country in the vicinity of Mangalore ; by not 
more than a hundred or a hundred and fifty thousand souls. It 
has been broken in upon by many other languages, and is likely 
soon to disappear/^* ' 

The following publications have been printed by the German 
Missionaries for their Tulu converts : —

BADA6A. 

This is an ancient Canarese dialect, spoken by the most numer- 
ous class of people inhabiting the Neilgherries. The Gospel of 
Luke, translated by the Rev. Messrs. Moriko and Buhler, has 
been printed in it by the Basel Mission.

INTRODUCTION. 238 

TELUGU. 

Introduction.* 

Territorial Limits.— Of all the Dravidian languages, Telugu ^ 
is spoken over the largest area, and by the greatest number of r ^ » Jf*^ 
people. It is current ^ong the Eastern Coast from about Pulicat ^'*'*'"^*'w^ 
to Chicacole, where it begins to yield to the Oriya. Inland, it 
extends to about the middle of the Peninsula. Formerly, Telugu 
appears to have been spoken as far north as the mouths of the 
Ganges. There are numerous Telugu settlers in the Tamil coun- 
try and in Mysore. The area may be roughly estimated at 
100,'000 square miles, and the population at 14 millions. }y-^ 

Language. — The Telugu, in respect of antiquity of culture and 
glossarial copiousness, ranks next to the Tamil in the list of Dra- 
vidian idioms ; but in point of euphonic sweetness it claims to oc- 
cupy the first place. Telugu has been styled the " Italian of In- 
dia." The Telugu, called also the Telinga, is the Andhra of San- 
skrit writers, a name mentioned by the Greek geographers as the 
name of a nation dwelling on or near the Granges. 

Of the five cultivated Dravidian dialects, the farthest removed 
from each other are the Tamil and the Telugu. The great majo- 
rity of the roots in both languages are, it is true, identical ; but 
they are often so disguised in composition by peculiarities of 
inflexion and dialectic changes, that not one entire sentence in one 
language is inteUigible to those who are acquainted only with the 
other. 

Literature. — This has receiyed comparatively little attention 
from Europeans. 0. P. Brown, Esq., of the Madras Civil Service, 
was a zealous labourer in the cause of Telugu literature, and has 
furnished the best helps for its study ; but he stands almost alone, ^ 

among laymen. Telugu is limited in original works, but there 
are numerous translations from, the Sanskrit. 

Education. — The Telugu country is backward with regard to 
education, especially inland. The district of Kurnool, in 1868, 
contained only five schools, with 202 pupils connected with Gk)- 
vemment. The Telugu Collectorates of the Madras Presidency 
seem to contain 467 schools, attended by 12,118 pupils. 

Progress of Christianity. — The first Mission to the Telugu 
country was commenced by the Rev. Messrs. Cran and Des Gran- 
ges, of the London Missionary Society, who occupied Vizagapa- 
tam in 1805, The Telugus have been greatly neglected by the

CHRISTIAN LITERATURE. 

1.* The Holy Sceiptuebs. 

In 1727, Schultze of Madras finished a translation of the New 
Testament in Telugu ; but it appears never to have been printed. 
The manuscript is said to have been forwarded to Halle. A trans* 
lation of Luke's Gospel, by Mr. Des Gi'anges, was printed in 
1810. Shortly afterwards, the Calcutta Bible Society printed 
his translation of Matthew, Mark, and John. In 1814, Mr. Prit- 
chett finished a translation of the New Testament, which was 
printed in 1819. The Telugu version of the New Testament by 
the Serampore Missionaries, was printed in 1818. Mr. Pritchett 
was removed by death while engaged in translating the Old 
Testament. Many delays occurred in completing the Old Testa- 
ment, and the whole was not printed till 1854. A revised trans- 
lation is now in progress,

4. The Vi21Agapatam Tract Society. 

The first application received by the Religious Tract Society 
from India for the benefit of the native population, was from the 
Rev. John Gordon of Vizagapatam in 1813. He acknowledged 
the receipt of a grant of books, and stated : '^ We are just get- 
ting a tract ready for the press, to be printed in Telinga, in order 
to precede the gospels, which we expect soon to distribute.'^ But 
"as early as 1809," says the Rev. J. Hay, "Mr. Des Granges 
began the preparation of tracts in the Telugu language, which at 
first were circulated in manuscript, and afterwards printed chiefly 
at the expense of an association, odled the Christian Institution 
in the East." 

A printing press was established at Vizagapatam by the London 
Mission in 1840. The Religious Tract Society farnished every 
year 48 reams of paper, and on an average 20,000 tracts were 
sent out annually. " The Vizagapatam Tract Society has never, 
for any lengthened period, been able to sustain the position of an 
independent Tract Society, owing partly to the want of funds, 
and partly to the frequent and often entire absence at Mofussil 
stations of friends disposed to be in any way associated with 
such an enterprise. When the Rev. J. S. Wardlaw joined the 
Vizagapatam Mission in 1855, he tried to resuscitate the Tract 
Society as a distinct Institution. Mr. Wardlaw left in 1859, since 
which time the Society has been gradually languishing."* 

The Mission Press was sold in 1869. While communication 
with Madras was difficult and uncertain, the maintenance of a 
separate Society and Press at Vizagapatam was desirable ; but now 
printing can be executed much better at Madras, and supplies can 
be easily forwarded.

When the Compiler sent this Catalogue to Press, he intended 
that it should contain only Vernacular publications. It was pro- 
posed to include English Tracts and Books, in another work. 
Hence, during his tour, he did not collect English titles, as he 
would otherwise have done. As it seemed desirable, on further 
consideration, that English publications should be included, a list 
has been hastity drawn up. It is tolerably complete so far as the 
publications of Tract Societies are concerned, but it is very imper- 
fect in other respects. Of course, only religious publications are 
entered. Ordinary sermons are not included, nor Episcopal Char- 
ges, They are so numerous that, the list would be very defective.
