Samuel Beal, born on 27 November 1825, was a distinguished Oriental scholar, and the first Englishman to translate directly from the Chinese the early records of Buddhism, thus throwing light upon Indian history. Samuel Beal was born in Devonport, Devon, and went to Kingswood School and Devonport. He graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge in 1847. From 1848-50, he was headmaster of Bramham College, Yorkshire. He was ordained deacon in 1850, and priest in the following year. After serving as curate at Brooke in Norfolk and Sopley in Hampshire, he applied for the office of naval chaplain, and was appointed to H.M.S. Sybille (1847) during the China War of 1856–58. He was awarded DCL (Durham) in 1885 “in recognition of the value of his researches into Chinese Buddhism.” His reputation was established by his series of works which traced the travels of the Chinese Buddhists in India from the fifth to the seventh centuries AD.
