They show that leadership of British missionary societies was split between those who wanted to be treated without favouritism by the British government and those who had more aggressive expectations. In doing so they explore the pressures that contributed to the formation of imperial policy and perspective during a significant period of the evolution of the British empire.McGill-Queen's studies in the history of religion.Series two ;8.ImperialismHistoryMissionariesGreat BritainPolitical activityMissions, BritishHistoryMissions, BritishPolitical aspectsImperialismHistory.MissionariesPolitical activity.Missions, BritishHistory.Missions, BritishPolitical aspects.266/.02341Greenlee James G(James Grant),1945-1190179Johnston Charles Murray1926-1499906MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782630203321Good citizens3726343UNINA
