The Life of T. T. Thomason, written by John Sargent and originally published in 1843, is a biography of Thomas Fanshawe Middleton Thomason, a prominent figure in the Anglican Church and the British East India Company during the early 19th century. Thomason was born in 1774 and educated at Cambridge University before joining the East India Company's civil service in 1794. He served in various administrative and judicial roles in India for over three decades, eventually rising to become the company's senior chaplain and a member of its governing council.Thomason was deeply committed to the spread of Christianity in India and worked tirelessly to establish churches, schools, and other institutions throughout the country. He also played a key role in the translation of the Bible into several Indian languages and was a vocal advocate for the rights of Indian Christians. In addition to his religious work, Thomason was a respected scholar and writer, publishing several books on Indian history and culture.Sargent's biography provides a detailed account of Thomason's life and work, drawing on a variety of sources including Thomason's personal papers and correspondence. The book covers Thomason's early years in India, his rise to prominence within the East India Company, his religious and scholarly pursuits, and his role in shaping British policy towards India. Sargent also provides insights into Thomason's personal life, including his marriage to a woman of Indian descent and his relationships with his colleagues and superiors.Overall, The Life of T. T. Thomason offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and work of a remarkable figure in the history of British India and the Anglican Church.
