8vo - 21.5 x 13.5 cm.; 302 pp. Marion (Melchior de Marion Brésillac) was ordained a priest in 1838 and appointed as curate to the parish of Castelnaudary in France, leaving France in 1842 to become a missionary in Pondicherry and surrounding areas in southeast India (location map on page 29). This is the story of his time and work there. The covers show the mildest of shelf wear to the edges, otherwise the book appears to have been used very little, if at all.
