Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BUCHANAN, CLAUDIUS 117661815),
English
  divine, was born at Cambuslang, near Glasgow, and educated at the universities of Glasgow and
Cambridge
 . He was ordained in 1795, and after holding a chaplaincy in India 'at Barrackpur (17971799) was appointed Calcutta chaplain and vice-
principal
  of the college of Fort William. In this capacity he did much to advance Christianity and native education in India, especially by organizing systematic translations of the Scriptures. An account of his travels in the
south
  and west of India, which added considerably to our knowledge of nature
life
 , is given in his Christian Researches in
Asia
  (
Cambridge
 , 181 I). After his return to England in 18o8, he still took an active
part
  in matters connected with India, and by his book entitled Colonial Ecclesiastical
Establishment
  (London, 1813), he assisted in settling the controversy of 1813, which ended in the
establishment
  of the Indian episcopate.
