About the author
Born in 1839 on Long Island, Samuel Henry Kellogg became an American Presbyterian minister, missionary, and author whose life’s work was closely tied to North India. Reliable biographical sources describe him as a major figure in the revision and retranslation of the Hindi Bible, work that drew on his strong command of Hindi and Sanskrit.
Kellogg served in India as a missionary and later also held teaching and pastoral roles in North America. Alongside his religious writing, he is remembered for scholarship on language, especially his work on Hindi grammar, which helped make him known beyond strictly missionary circles.
He died in 1899. For readers today, his books offer a window into 19th-century Protestant thought, missionary history, and the serious study of Indian languages by a writer who moved between theology and linguistics.
