Pinkerton (1780-1859), was a respected missionary, linguist, and translator who traveled widely, especially in Russia, Europe (Germany in particular) and Greece encouraging the setting up of Bible societies, writing copiously about his travels and translating other authors' works from Russian, Greek and other languages. Platon II (1737-1812), the Metropolitan of Moscow from 1775 to 1812, personified the Age of Enlightenment in the Russian Orthodox Church.
