 Life Of William Carey - Shoemaker & Missionary by George Smith, C.I.E., LL.D. | Preface   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
ON the death of William Carey In 1834 Dr. Joshua Marshman promised to write the Life of his great colleague, with whom he had held almost daily converse since the beginning of the century, but he survived too short a time to begin the work.
In 1836 the Rev. Eustace Carey anticipated him by issuing what is little better than a selection of mutilated letters and journals made at the request of the Committee of the Baptist Missionary Society.
John Marshman, after his final return to England, published The Life and Times of Carey, Marshman, and Ward, a valuable history and defence of the Serampore Mission, but rather a biography of his father than of Carey.

With such wisdom was he aided in this by the business experience of Marshman and Ward, that a settlement was formed, which admitted of easy development in correspondence with the rapid growth of the mission.

 Broadmead Baptist Church: A little history
Terrill left his personal fortune to Broadmead; this paid the minister's stipend for many years, and also financed the establishment of the world's first training establishment for Free Church ministers, that eventually became the Bristol Baptist College.
Other famous Broadmead names include William Knibb (who campaigned successfully against slavery within the colonies), and Joshua Marshman (who assisted William Carey in the establishment of the Baptist Missionary Society in India).
R.W. Waddelow (1946-1954) worked tirelessly to convince the city planners of the day that there was a place for a worshipping congregation among the shops, with the result that Broadmead was allowed to remain when other churches were moved to the suburbs.

Smith attempts to liberate Carey from false renown by referring to the achievements of his colleagues, William Ward and Joshua Marshman,24 but goes too far, in my opinion.
