James Long (Anglican priest)
James Long (1814–1887) was an Anglo-Irish priest of the Anglican Church. A humanist, educator, evangelist, translator, essayist, philanthropist and a missionary to India, he resided in the city of Calcutta, India, from 1840 to 1872 as a member of the Church Mission Society, leading the mission at Thakurpukur.
Long was closely associated with the Calcutta School-Book Society, the Bethune Society, the Bengal Social Science Association and The Asiatic Society. He also published the English translation of the play ''Nil Darpan'' by Dinabandhu Mitra, an act for which he was subsequently prosecuted for libel, fined, and briefly jailed.
==Early life==
James Long was born in Bandon, County Cork, Ireland in 1814, when Ireland was still a part of the United Kingdom, to John Long and his wife Anne. At the age of twelve he was enrolled at the newly opened Bandon Endowed School, where he learnt "Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French and English languages; Euclid, Algebra, Logic; Arithmetic, Book-keeping, Reading, Writing, History and Geography".〔Oddie, p.5〕 He proved an excellent student, distinguishing himself especially in theology and the classics.
Long's application to join the Church Mission Society was accepted in 1838 and he was sent to the Society’s training college in Islington.〔Oddie, p.14〕 Following two years's training at Islington the Reverend Long was sent to Calcutta to join the CMS mission there. He arrived in Calcutta in 1840, briefly returning to England in 1848 to marry Emily Orme, daughter of William Orme.〔Oddie, p.35〕
