Journal Of A Tour In Ceylon And India

""Journal Of A Tour In Ceylon And India: Undertaken At The Request Of The Baptist Missionary Society, In Company With J. Leechman, With Observations And Remarks"" is a travelogue written by Joshua Russell in 1852. The book describes the author's journey through Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka) and India, which he undertook as a missionary for the Baptist Missionary Society. Russell traveled with his companion J. Leechman and recorded his observations and remarks on the people, culture, and customs of the places he visited. The book provides a detailed account of the landscapes, flora, and fauna of the regions, as well as the religious practices and beliefs of the local people. Russell also writes about his experiences with the Baptist Missionary Society and their work in spreading Christianity in these regions. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of Christian missions in South Asia, as well as the cultural and natural history of Ceylon and India in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
