Society, Schools and Progress in India presents the systematic use of education to achieve, prosperity, security, and social well-being. This book provides a concise account of the historical events and the social, religious, political, and other influences, which have combined to create India. Organized into 10 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the major events in the history of the sub-continent, which used to be called Hindustan or India, but which, since 1947, has been divided between Pakistan and India. This text then examines the education and social services during the 200 years preceding Independence that cover the period of the British Raj. Other chapters consider the fundamental principles or assumptions by which it has been suggested that educational progress in India should be guided. The final chapter deals with the historical events and the inherent elements in the complex society of India. This book is intended to be suitable for students of sociology, government and politics, as well as education.

<p>Arguably the most influential missionary biography of the 19th century, Sargent's study of Henry Martyn (1781-1812) tells how he put the work of evangelism and Bible translation in India before all the prizes his brilliant Cambridge career had opened to him. Many have risen from the pages of this biography in a state of 'deep and sober ecstasy of true religious feeling' and determined to follow Christ more faithfully.</p>

<p>Henry Martyn (1781-1812) was born in Cornwall and educated at Cambridge. After hearing about the success of William Carey's mission at Serampore, he abandoned his intended career as a barrister to become a missionary, and joined the East India Company as a chaplain. During six years spent mostly in India he produced Hindi, Urdu and Persian translations of the New Testament. He is best remembered for these and other scripture translations which remained popular in India until the end of the nineteenth century. This memoir draws on Martyn's personal letters and diary. It was first published in London in 1816, soon after Martyn's untimely death in Persia, and appeared in a second edition (reissued here) in 1819. Part 1 covers his early life, Part 2 begins with his arrival in India and describes his missionary work, and Part 3 recounts Martyn's exhausting journey to Persia and his death.</p>
