Malan

Malan, CÉSAR HENRI ABRAHAM, a Protestant Swiss divine, was born in Geneva, 8th July 1787, and became a pastor of the state church and a regent in the college. Through the influence of American and Scottish friends, he became devoutly evangelical, and many of his works were translated into English—The Church of Rome (1844), Stories for Children (1852), Pictures from Switzerland (1854). Both words and music of Chants de Zion (1826) are his own. He died 8th May 1864. His Life was written (1869) by his son Solomon César, D.D. who, born at Geneva in 1812, studied at Oxford, and was vicar of Broadwindsor and prebendary of Sarum. He wrote on birds, and several theological works, and died 27th November 1894. See Life by his son (1897).
