William Henry Brett (1818-1886) was for four decades a SPG missionary to the indigenous peoples of British Guiana.

Worth Noting
Changing Rural Life: A Christian Response to Key Rural Issues, edited by Jeremy Martineau, Leslie J. Francis and Peter Francis, is reviewed in the Church Times by Ronald Blythe. 'It reveals what is actually present in the country: isolation; farming during transition; the property-market problems; a beautiful religious tradition; the gains and losses of our luxuries; the difficulties of making a pastoral scripture fit our combined acres and slaughter-houses, our supermarkets, and economics generally.'

The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions, by Sister Helen Prejean [author of Dead Man Walking], is reviewed in The Tablet by Cherie Booth. [Booth is described in the paper edition of The Tablet as a human rights lawyer.] 'In the first half of the book Sister Helen sets out a compelling case for her belief that each man [Dobie Gillis Williams and Joseph O’Dell] was in fact innocent of the horrible crimes for which they met their deaths. She tells an awful story of incompetent lawyers, law-enforcement officers determined to uphold the verdict of a jury and, most of all, the appallingly long-drawn-out appeal process peppered with trips to the death chamber, fixed but then delayed, which has become the staple fare of death row jurisprudence in the US.'

The Enlightenment Bible: Translation, Scholarship, Culture, by Jonathan Sheehan, is reviewed in the Church Times by Michael Wheeler. 'This account of the creation of the "cultural Bible" in the 18th century, when for many scholars the theological authority of the scriptures was undermined, turns out to be something of a page-turner ... Sheehan argues that it was precisely in the domains of scholarship — philological, literary, and historical — and translation that the Bible was repositioned in Western Protestant culture.'
