              Papers of John Drew Bate
              GB 891 JDB · Fonds · 1858-1930

              Papers of John Drew Bate with some allied correspondence of his Daughter, E.E. Bate.

              John Drew Bate was not only an active missionary, but also interested in the wider culture of India and, in particular, the Hindi language. These papers reflect his interests, comprising mainly of notes and manuscripts for sermons, articles and books. He is particularly known for authoring the Hindi Dictionary, first published in 1875 with a later edition in 1918. His handwritten notes for this dictionary are included in the papers, along with Manuscript notes for a book on Islamic Studies.
