G. Udny inviting first the writer and then Carey to become his assistants in charge of new indigo factories which he was building on his own account. Each received a salary equivalent to £250 a year, with the prospect of a commission on the out-turn, and even a proprietary share.
But the preamble of this reference to the judges declared it to be one of the fundamental principles of the British Government to consult the religious opinions of the natives, "consistently with the principles of morality, reason, and humanity." There spoke Carey and Udny, and Wellesley himself.
Carey's two missionary principles Destitute in Calcutta Bandel and Nuddea Applies in vain to be under-superintendent of the Botanic Garden Housed by a native usurer Translation and preaching work in Calcutta Secures a grant of waste land at Hasnabad Estimate of the Bengali language, and appeal to the Society to work in Asia and Africa rather than in America The Udny family Carey's summary of his first year's experience Superintends the indigo factory of Mudnabati Indigo and the East India Company's monopolies Carey's first nearly fatal sickness Death of his child and chronic madness of his wife Formation of first Baptist church in India Early progress of Bible translation Sanskrit studies; the Mahabarata The wooden printing-press set up at Mudnabati His educational ideal; school-work The medical mission Lord Wellesley Carey seeks a mission centre among the Bhooteas Describes his first sight of a Sati Projects a mission settlement at Kidderpore.
From Plassey in 1757 to 1829, three quarters of a century, Christian England was responsible, at first indirectly and then most directly, for the known immolation of at least 70,000 Hindoo widows. Carey was the first to move the authorities; Udny and Wellesley were the first to begin action against an atrocity so long continued and so atrocious.
Our brethren concur with me in this plan. In consequence of this, I thought it would be desirable to have leave of Government for them to settle, and preach, without control, in any part of the country. The Government look on us with a favourable eye; and owing to Sir G. Barlow, the Governor-General, being up the country, Mr. Udny is Vice-President and Deputy-Governor.
This was the first step in the history of British but not of Mohammedan India, for our predecessors had by decree forbidden and in practice discouraged the crime. Lord Wellesley's colleagues were still the good Udny, the great soldier Lord Lake and Sir George Barlow.
