This Wall Art listing, sku-15969857597 and UPC 463451958748, is titled Memoirs of the Life and Correspondence of the Reverend Christian Frederick Swartz, with a sketch of Christianity in India.

It refers to extracts from Swartz's journals and letters, Mr. Gericke's unrealized plan to write a biography and Mr. Hudleston's correspondence with Swartz. It also discusses the spread of early Christianity through the Roman Empire and beyond. Christian Frederick Schwarz (1726-1798) was a German Lutheran missionary in India who knew Latin, Greek, Sanskrit and Tamil, among other languages.

He served as a British peace emissary in Mysore, worked with Indian royal families and helped introduce Protestant Christianity in southern India. Hugh Nicholas Pearson (1776-1856) was an English clergyman and Dean of Salisbury with ties to the Clapham Sect.

He won the Buchanan Prize in 1807 for writing on Christianity's propagation in Asia and wrote biographies of missionaries, including Claudius Buchanan and Christian Frederick Swartz.
