Amos Sutton published the first English Grammar of the Odia Languange for the Baptist Mission Press in 1831 and was at work revising the Odiya Bible Translation for the press at the time of this pamphlet's publication. We suspect he oversaw the publication of this little tract. The Baptist Mission Press for the General Baptist Missionary Society paperback
