The book deals principally with the English period and the development of the Church of England (now the Church of India, Burma and Ceylon) from its beginnings as a Chaplaincy of the original East India Company at Surat, trading under the charter of Queen Elizabeth I. The reason for the book is the approaching centenary of the Diocese of Bombay (now Mumbai). The first Bishop, Dr Thomas Carr, who had been one of the Company's Chaplains and also Archdeacon of Bombay, was consecrated on Sunday, November 19, 1837, in Lambeth Palace Chapel.
