Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bombay Mission-History, Vol. 1: With a Special Study of the Padroado Question
AS example was better than precept, the idea suggested itself of setting to work on the mission to which I belonged; not as a master Of the subject, but as a learner in the very process of writing it. It was to be a pioneer work, to consist Of gathering together in sequence all the easily accessible material that came in my way, as a starting point for something better later on. The plunge was made in a series of 43 articles published in the examiner between 1908 and 1910 followed by another series of 15 articles containing the particular history of single places and institutions, published between 1910 and 1915. Subsequent study and Observation soon brought further material to light; and the task (undertaken in 1920) of pulling to pieces the Diocesan Archives Of Bombay and Poona and rearranging them, made it possible to go over the whole ground again in a more thorough manner - oi which the present history is the outcome.
