[1875?]
A pamphlet relating to the controversial career of Dr Robert Reid Kalley (1809-1888), a Scottish missionary who practiced in Portugal after obtaining his medical qualification. Kalley's evangelizing brought him into conflict with the Catholic Church and the local police. He was eventually arrested and imprisoned in July 1843 on charges of blasphemy, heresy, and apostasy, which carried the death penalty. From prison he mounted a campaign for his release in the British newspapers and the British embassy in Lisbon helped to secure his freedom in January 1844.  "Exposicao de factos &" (An exposition of the facts relating to the aggression against protestants on the island of Madeira) deals with these charges. Not long after the publication of this work, Kalley and his wife retired to Edinburgh in 1876, where he was elected a director of the Edinburgh Medical Missionary Society, and where he died in 1888.
