Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from William Wilberforce: His Friends and His Times
I have stated in the Introductory Chapter some of the reasons which have led me, at this time more especially, to offer sketches of a group of eminent persons who, at the end of last century, and early in this century, took a leading part in the cause of Christian philanthropy. Bound together by one sentiment, acting for the most part with great unity of purpose, they left on the character of their times traces which may be plainly discerned in the thoughts and activities of our day.
