From being a simple shoemaker and village preacher, this man became so skilled a linguist that at the age of forty he was appointed Professor of Bengali, Sanskrit, and Marathi in the Governor-General&#8217;s college in Calcutta-a post he filled with distinction for thirty years\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/missiology.org.uk\/ple_a-c_carey-w.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">For more material on William Carey, go here.<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Walker&#8217;s biography of the great missionary pioneer William Carey [1761-1834] is based on the older works by J.C.
