Kalli, the Esquimaux Christian: A Memoir
by T. B. (Thomas Boyles) Murray
About the author
Thomas Boyles Murray was an English clergyman and author born in 1798 and died in 1860. Sources agree that he was educated at Merchant Taylors’ School and Pembroke College, Cambridge, and that he served in the Church of England before becoming a prebendary of St Paul’s Cathedral.
He wrote widely, with a strong interest in religious biography, missionary history, and works for general readers. Among the titles linked to him are Pitcairn: the Island, the People, and the Pastor, The Home of the Mutineers, Kalli, the Esquimaux Christian, and A Notice of Ely Chapel, Holborn.
Murray’s books helped introduce Victorian readers to remote communities and notable Christian lives in a clear, accessible style. His writing now has a lasting place in digital libraries and public-domain collections, where readers still encounter him mainly through his historical and religious narratives.
