Excerpt from Recollections of William Wilberforce, Esq. M. P. For the Country of York, During Nearly Thirty Years: With Brief Notices of Some of His Personal Friends and ContemporariesThe Name of Wilberforce is honoured and revered throughout the civilised world as that of a Christian philanthropist, and in particular as the principal achiever of that great work of humanity, the Abolition of the Slave Trade. His eminent talents as an orator and a statesman, and his admirable qualities both of head and heart, procured for him also an influence for good, both in and out of Parliament, and among men of all parties, scarcely equalled by any of his contemporaries. This influence throughout the whole of his career was studiously exercised to promote the glory of God and the best interests of his fellow-creatures.His sons, in their biography of this great and good man, have ably illustrated these particulars.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
