The Calvin Translation Society founded in May 1843 in Edinburgh. It published (1845–1855) translations of Calvin's books: Institutes of the Christian Religion, Commentaries, Tracts and Letters. Beveridge translated for the Calvin Translation Society included a collection of Calvin's Tracts Relating to the Reformation, three volumes in 1844 and he translated Institutes of the Christian Religion in 1845.[4] His edition of the Institutes of the Christian Religion came out in three volumes, and contained in the introductory matter items that have been, not with-out loss, dropped out of later printings in both America and Britain. Beveridge had intended to enter the ministry; he later trained for the law and became a lawyer, but made writing his chief employment. He was engaged by the publishers Blackie and Son to write a A Comprehensive History of India, which he produced in three volumes (1858–63), without leaving British shore;[5] the book was printed in London and in New Delhi.
