James Forlong
James George Roche Forlong (6 November 1824 – 29 March 1904〔(Sources according to ancestry.com: "Ian Patterson's printouts, given to Robin; IGI" )〕) was a Major General of the Indian Army who trained as an engineer in Scotland and England.
==Life==
He joined the Indian Army in 1843 later filling various posts including that of Secretary and Chief Engineer to the government of Oudh. Exposure to Indian religions while doing missionary work led him to abandon his Christian faith, and into some very heterodox ideas about religious origins, including those of the ancient Hebrews. These found expression in his massive work of comparative religion, ''Rivers of Life'',〔Rivers of life : Vols 1 and 2. or sources and streams of the faiths of man in all lands showing the evolution of faiths from the rudest symbolisms to the latest spiritual developments.

Quaritch: London; Edinburgh, printed, 1883.〕 with its markedly sexual, some would say blasphemous,〔See for example an orthodox view on this type of interpretation: "Such an interpretation of the Ark of the Covenant constitutes the highest blasphemy, and yet is precisely the perverted view which Antichrist will hold toward the Ark of the restored Jewish Covenant."

He was an Honorary Associate of the Rationalist Press Association, to which he left a sum of money in his will.
He died in 1904.〔A Biographical Dictionary of Modern Rationalists, Watts & co London 1924〕
He is buried in Dean Cemetery in Edinburgh.〔https://www.flickr.com/photos/duncan/sets/72157644250829973/detail/〕
