JOURNAL AND LETTERS OF THE REV. HENRY MARTYN, B.D. FELLOW OP ST. JOHNS COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE AND CHAPLAIN TO THE HOSORABLE EAST INDIA COMPANY. - PREFACE TO THE AiVERICAN EDITION. - TIIERE is 110 modern name dearer to the clizrcli than that of Henry Dlartyn. A volume from his pen on any subject could not fail to interest the Cllristinn public, nlucli more one like this, which contains the records of his heart. 111 those vho have read his life, will earnestly desire to read his Let- ters and Journal. The author of his life speaks of the distl-acting riches of his journals, of the masses of ore left behind, when he made the extracts which are woven into the narrative. Those reserved 6ricles are now, for the first time, presented to the American public. We doubt not they will be eagerly appropriated and highly prized. The reader of this volume will be admitted to a still nearer view of hIartyns character than is given in his Rlenoir. He will become familiar with the processes by which Alartyns eminent attainments in piety were made. He enjoyed no peculiar advantages for progress in the divine life. He had the same temptations to resist, the same difficulties to over- come, as 0the.r men. His temptations to anger, envy, evil speaking, and rvorldly mindedness were quite as great as vi PREFACE. those which beset the nxtjority of men.

Henry Martyn was an Anglican priest, famed for his intrepid and innovative missionary work in India and Persia during the early 19th century. His detailed journals, arranged in tandem with his letters, offer readers a cogent and biographical narrative. Born in 1781, Martyn showed intellectual promise at a young age and gained entry to the University of Cambridge. He began his journals and letter writing in 1801, when he was a student of some distinction at St. John's College. His marked ability to understand language and write at first led Martyn to consider a career in law. However, his destiny was as a man of God, serving in the faraway nations of India and Persia as a missionary. Among the first notable events in this journal is Martyn witnessing Charles Simeon, a renowned preacher, speak highly of a missionary in India. He told of great accomplishments; Simeon's narrative would change Henry Martyn's life forever. Although financial troubles in his family delayed his departure, Henry was eventually able to obtain a position of chaplain with the East India Company and set sail in the summer of 1805. The journal elaborates on the details of Martyn's life and contains poignant thoughts on subjects such as religious duty and the daily events and meetings the author had. Lengthy but seldom tedious, it is in the later passages - from 1806 onward - that the journals and letters become deeply interesting. The India of the time, its environment, peoples and customs, are described by the effusive young Henry as he establishes himself as a new missionary. Much of Henry Martyn's abiding legacy is in his translations of ancient texts to English. Intellectually curious and competent, Henry voraciously studied Urdu and Persian, and accomplished translations of the Psalms and scripture into these languages. His efforts brought him renown and favor in the Christian church, and distinction in his missionary work. Tragically, Henry Martyn died young at the age of thirty-one after contracting a powerful fever. The journal's final passages are emotional, as the young priest sits peacefully in an orchard and reflects on his life. Henry looks forward to meeting God, whom he addresses as 'my company, my friend and my comforter'.

Henry Martyn (1781-1812) was an Anglican priest and missionary to the peoples of India and Persia. Born in Truro, Cornwall, he attended St John's College, Cambridge and after being ordained a priest in the Church of England he became a chaplain for the British East India Company. He arrived in India in April 1806 where he preached and studied linguistics, later translating the whole of the New Testament into Urdu, Persian and Judaeo-Persic. He also translated the Pslams into Persian and the Book of Common Prayer into Urdu. From India, he set out for Bushire, Shiraz, Isfahan, and then on to Tabriz where he had hoped to present his translation of the New Testament to the Shah. On his return journey to England in 1812 he was seized with fever, and unable to continue further was forced to stop in Tokat, although the plague was raging there. He wrote his final diary entry on October 6, 1812 and died ten days later. Martyn is remembered for his courage, selflessness, and religious devotion. His love for Lydia Grenfell, who he had hoped would join him in India as his wife, is well-documented in his diary and surviving letters to her, which are quoted in George Smith's lengthy biography, first published in 1892, as are extracts from Lydia's own diary. The biography makes extensive use of Martyn's papers and private letters, now held at Westminster College, Cambridge, and draws on reminiscences of his associates. Smith was a Scottish historian and geographer who spent his working life in India, moving to Calcutta in 1855 where he became successively Fellow of the University and their Examiner, editor of the Calcutta Review, and from 1860 official India correspondent for the Times newspaper in Britain. By the 1870s he had returned to Scotland where he was editor of the journal Friends of India, Secretary of the United Free Church of Scotland, and Vice President of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society. Smith was the author of several biographies of religious figures and missionaries to India, and also books on Indian politics and geography.
