"Memoirs of the Right Rev. Daniel Corrie, LL.D., first Bishop of Madras" is a historical account compiled chiefly from Corrie’s own correspondence and journals, and was written in the early to mid-19th century. The work documents Corrie’s life, from his early years and spiritual development in England to his ministerial work in India, capturing both personal reflections and historical observations. Focusing on Corrie’s vocation in the Anglican Church and his ultimate role as the first Bishop of Madras, the book delves into themes of religious conviction, missionary work, and the challenges of faith in distant lands. Readers interested in 19th-century missionary history, personal spiritual journeys, and the British experience in colonial India may find the memoirs particularly engaging. The opening of the memoirs provides an intimate portrait of Daniel Corrie’s early life and ministry, primarily through his letters and journal excerpts. It recounts his spiritual struggles, sense of inadequacy, and gradual growth in faith, culminating in his ordination and early pastoral roles in rural England. The narrative then transitions to his decision to serve as a chaplain in India, chronicling his emotional departure, the rigors and spiritual reflections during his lengthy sea voyage, and his first impressions of Madras and Calcutta. Throughout these passages, Corrie’s humility, earnestness, and compassion—particularly for young people and the unchurched—are consistently evident, setting the tone for his later work as a missionary and bishop.
