7 Farewell Letters on Returning to Bengal in 1821。
8 Rev。 A。 T。 Clarke succeeded Kiernander in 1789 in the Old or Mission Church； according to Miss Blechynden's Calcutta Past and Present （1905）； p。 84。
9 At this time； and up to 1801； the last survivor of the Black Hole tragedy was living in Calcutta and bore his own name； though the missionary knew it not。 Mrs。 Carey was a country…born woman； who； when a girl； had married an officer of one of the East Indiamen； and with him； her mother； and sister； had been shut up in the Black Hole； where； while they perished； she is said to have retained life by swallowing her tears。 Dr。 Bishop； of Merchant Taylors' SchoolClive's Schoolwrote Latin verses on the story； which thus conclude
〃。。。Nescit sitiendo perire Cui sic dat lacrymas quas bibat ipsa fides。〃 See Echoes from Old Calcutta； by Dr。 Busteed； C。I。E。
10 But not its Church。 In October 1796 Mr。 A。 Johnstone； thirty years elder in Lady Yester's congregation； beside the University of Edinburgh； began a prayer meeting for Carey's work and for foreign missions。 He was summoned to the Presbytery； and there questioned as if he had been a 〃Black…neb〃 or revolutionary。 This meeting led to the foundation of the Sabbath School and Destitute Sick Societies in Edinburgh。 See Lives of the Haldanes。
11 Dr。 Marshman's English translation is still used； beginning
〃Oh！ thou my soul forget no more The Friend who all thy misery bore。〃
12 The chatookee is a bird which； they say； drinks not at the streams below： but when it rains； opening its bill； it catches the drops as they fall from the clouds。
13 The sight of the red coat of the military surgeon who attended him gave this form to his delirious talk： 〃I treated him very roughly and refused to touch his medicine。 In vain did he retire and put on a black coat。 I knew him and was resolved。〃
14 In a criticism of the three Sanskrit grammars of Carey； Wilkins； and Colebrooke； the first number of the Quarterly Review in 1809 pronounces the first 〃everywhere useful； laborious； and practical。 Mr。 Wilkins has also discussed these subjects； though not always so amply as the worthy and unwearied missionary。 We have been much pleased with Dr。 Carey's very sensible preface。〃
15 It was reserved for a young Orientalist； whom the career of Carey and Wilson of Bombay attracted to the life of a Christian missionary； to do full justice to this book and its literature。 In 1885 the Hon。 Ion Keith…Falconer； M。A。； published； at the Cambridge University Press； his Kalilah and Dimnah； or The Fables of Bidpai： Being an Account of their Literary History； with an English Translation of the later Syriac Version of the Same； and Notes。 The heroic scholar and humble follower of Christ； having given himself and his all to found a Mission to the Mohammedans of South Arabia； at Sheikh Othman； near Aden； died there； on 11th May 1887； a death which will bring life to Yemen； through his memory； and the Mission which he founded； his family support； and the United Free Church of Scotland carry on in his name。

17 Life and Work in Benares and Kumaon； 1839…77。 London； 1884。
18 Mr。 John Marshman； in his Life and Times of the three； states that Fry and Figgins； the London typefounders； would not produce under ？00 half the Nagari fount which the Serampore native turned out at about ？00。 In 1813 Dr。 Marshman's Chinese Gospels were printed on movable metallic types； instead of the immemorial wooden blocks； for the first time in the twenty centuries of the history of Chinese printing。 This forms an era in the history of Chinese literature； he justly remarks。
19 The fervent printer thus wrote to his Hull friends：〃To give to a man a New Testament who never saw it； who has been reading lies as the Word of God； to give him these everlasting lines which angels would be glad to readthis； this is my blessed work。〃
20 In 1795 Captain Dodds； a Madras officer front Scotland； translated part of the Bible into Telugoo； and； lingering on in the country to complete the work； died seven days after the date of his letter on the subject in the Missionary Magazines of 1796。
21 Then Editor of the Friend of India。
22 The Chaitanya Charita Amrita； by Krishna Dass in 1557； was the first of importance。
23 Nor was his influence confined to the Protestant division of Christendom。 When； on the Restoration of 1815； France became once more aggressively Romanist for a time； the Association for the Propagation of the Faith was founded at Lyons and Paris； avowedly on the model of the Baptist Missionary Society； and it now raises a quarter of a million sterling a year for its missions。 The expression in an early number of its Annales is：〃C'est l'Angleterre qui a fourni l'id閑 mod鑜e；〃 etc。 〃La Soci閠？des Anabaptistes a form？pour ses Missions des Soci閠閟；〃 etc。
