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. 410 0$aMcGill-Queen's studies in the history of religion.$nSeries two ;$v8. 606 $aImperialism$xHistory 606 $aMissionaries$zGreat Britain$xPolitical activity 606 $aMissions, British$xHistory 606 $aMissions, British$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aImperialism$xHistory. 615 0$aMissionaries$xPolitical activity. 615 0$aMissions, British$xHistory. 615 0$aMissions, British$xPolitical aspects. 676 $a266/.02341 700 $aGreenlee$b James G$g(James Grant),$f1945-$01190179 701 $aJohnston$b Charles Murray$f1926-$01499906 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782630203321 996 $aGood citizens$93726343 997 $aUNINA
