Christianity in Ceylon : Its Introduction and Progress under the Portuguese, the Dutch, the British and American Missions with an Historical Sketch of the Brahmanical and Buddhist Superstitions

Omtale

This 1850 book describes the various missionary activities of the Portuguese, Dutch, British and Americans among the peoples of Ceylon since its first discovery by Europeans. The work describes the different approaches over time to the two predominant religions of the islands, Hinduism and Buddhism (both inevitably dismissed as 'superstitions').
