This biography by the longtime custodian of the Carey library appraises the contribution of William Carey’s eldest son Felix, perhaps the most fluent "Bengali linguist among India’s Europeans"(p.1), to the Bengal Renaissance of the early nineteenth century. Born in Moulton, England in 1786 to Dorothy and William Carey, Felix Carey journeyed to India with his missionary parents in 1793. In a phenomenon not unknown to missionary experience, Felix and his younger brother William were unruly and of an impetuous temperament, though their outrageous conduct seems to have stopped short of outright defiance. William Ward, the Serampore printer, offering attention that was in arrears from preoccupied parents, called Felix, with exotic irony, the "Tiger." Perhaps Ward realized that Felix suffered from "unhealthy premature development," which was, according to Chaterjee, natural "among European children who resided in the tropics in their teens"(p.18). Ward, who was the "friend, philosopher and guide" of Felix and young William, eventually led them to repentance and belief in Christ, an unlikely consummation for which their father gave Ward thanks and acknowledgement. On December 28, 1800, Felix was baptized along with Krishna Pal, his father’s first Indian convert. Felix, once untameable, became, at age 14, a missionary preacher.
Under Ward's direction, Felix learned skills of printing and composition. He also became involved in Serampore’s quasi-monastic routine of gardening, prayer, translation, and, in the evening, preaching, a service at which he particularly excelled. After establishing what was likely the first Sunday School in India in 1802, Felix married, in October, 1804, Margaret Kinsey, daughter of a Calcutta schoolmistress. By marrying a fifteen year old bride when he was only 18, Felix avoided, according to Chaterjee, the disquieting sexual indiscretions ("going astray") that plagued his younger brother William (p. 23). Felix afterwards studied medicine with Dr. Taylor and at the Calcutta Hospital. But the Serampore trio's intention that Felix should assume the role of mission doctor came to nothing. Instead Felix forsook the routines of Serampore for the newness of Burma, a mission station which the Serampore missionaries envisioned as a haven beyond reach of East India Company power (pp. 24-25). Accompanied by his colleague Chater, Felix sailed for Rangoon, where he took advice from a former East India Company officer named Rogers who had found sanctuary in Burma from charges of assaulting a superior officer. Rogers told Felix to ingratiate himself with the Maywoon, or Governor, of the place.
Life in Rangoon was difficult. Felix won favor by vaccinating Burmese people, including the Maywoon’s family, but food items were scarce and it was difficult to learn Burmese for want of a teacher (pp.28-34). Felix Carey lost both his wife and mother in 1808, and not long thereafter Chater and his wife left Burma. The Siamese war brought further difficulties for Felix. He resolved to stay in Burma and sought a companion in marriage.
Chaterjee’s extensive appendix (pp. 97-122) includes a chronology, letters, a list of Felix Carey’s scientific articles in a Bengali periodical entitled Dig-durshun, quotable opinions regarding Felix Carey, and a family tree.

*Clement, Alberic Samuel. William Carey, 1761-1834. London: Independent Press, 1961.
Published in the Heritage Biography series for "Two Shillings Net," this biography joined considerations of John Milton, Oliver Cromwell, John Bunyan, Isaac Watts, C. H. Spurgeon and Roger Williams. Clement notes that Carey's "study of native literature" helped to provoke "the revival of Indian culture and literature, the effects of which are still apparent today. (p. 3)" He opines that it is "quite likely that William Carey heard John Wesley preach. (p. 5)" Clement quotes the Anglican David Brown to the effect that some Serampore translations were "unrivalled," while others were written with inadequate understanding of the languages involved (p. 15). He attributes at least part of the rift between the Serampore trio and the Baptist Missionary Society during the 1820's to the foundation of Serampore College. Some objected to its ambitious financial commitment, to its teaching of non-Christian literature and to its admission of non-Christian students (p. 16). In Westminster Abbey on October 2 1961 a service of thanksgiving commemorated the two hundredth anniversary of Carey's birth (p. 18).

Fuller provides a two page biography of Carey, mentioning some major events from his life. In the biography some errors do appear, including the statement regarding Carey and Dr. John Thomas: "They never reached their destination [East Indies]. The company officials [East India Company] made them leave the ship at India" (p. 334). Also, Fuller places the conferral of the D.D. on Carey too late when he says, "Honors came to him in his last years. Brown University conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Divinity" (p. 335).
Following the biography, Fuller (pp. 336-50) reprints material from Carey's Enquiry. These excerpts derive from Sections I, II, IV, and V.

*Hubble, Gwenyth, and Ernest A. Payne. William Carey: The Man, His Message, and His Methods (Study Outlines). London: Baptist Missionary Society, n.d.
This short pamphlet contains twelve outlines for use at "Summer Schools, and by the . . . Girls' Auxiliary . . . Young People's Fellowships, etc., and to individuals who are interested in the subject" (p. 3). Each outline highlights an important aspect of Carey's life (i.e. "The Plodder," "The Botanist," "The Friend," "The Christian," "The Enquiry," "The Sermon," "The Missionary," "Translator of the Bible," The Christian Settlement," "Training Indian Leaders," "Social Reform," and "World-Wide Planning"). Each outline also includes scripture texts and questions (for reflection) assigned to be studied alongside the narrative.
The authors compare Carey, "The Botanist," to Albert Schweitzer and note that Carey allowed himself a sole luxury in his subscription to the botanical magazine Curtis (p. 8). Of Carey's Enquiry, the authors state, "There is in the Enquiry no denominational bias, no appeal to fear, no lurid picturing of the 'perishing heathen.' The dominant thought is the extension of Christ's Kingdom; the keynote is 'Obligation.'" (p. 15).
