The sixteenth-century Jesuit Francis Xavier was invoked as the patron saint of Catholic missionaries as a result of his endeavours in India, Japan and China. This 1862 book is a re-evaluation of his life and achievements, based on intensive study of Xavier's letters by a leading Anglican missionary.
