Excerpt from Memoirs of the Public and Private Life of John Howard, the Philanthropist: Compiled From His Own Dairy, in the Possession of His Family The friends of the distinguished individual whose extraordinary deeds of philanthropy form the principal subject of the following pages, have long regretted that no memoir of his life has yet been presented to the public, in which full justice is done to the motives by which he was actuated in the unparalleled career of benevolence that has immortalized his name. The deficiency they have deplored, it is the object of this work to supply, from information derived from a variety of sources, of whose originality and authenticity a particular description will naturally be expected at its author's hands.

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Public and Private Life of John Howard, the Philanthropist: Compiled From His Own Diary, in the Possession of His Family, His Confidential Letters, the Communications of His Surviving Relatives and Friends, and Other Authentic Sources of InformationBooks which his master had with him at his death; some of that master's original letters; and other papers, illustrative of his unwearied labours in the cause of humanity, and the general excellence of his character, in private, as in public life. These various documents were afterwards submitted to one of the earliest, and most intimate of my friends, with whom I have since become connected by nearer ties, the Rev. Thomas Rames, LL. D. Of Liverpool, who suggested to me the idea of pre paring for the press, from these, and other materials which he would aid me in collecting, a Memoir of our Philanthmpist's life, in whose compilation his own want of leisure prevented his engaging. Having, through his introduction, obtained the use of the papers, formerly in the possession of Thomasson, the servant alluded to, no time was lost in making application to the successor of Mr. Howard's pastor, at Bedford, for his assistance in procuring the information which that town and its neighbourhood was likely to supply; and it was then I learned, for the first time, that a life of this great and good man was in contemplation, from materials in the possession of the family of the late Rev. Mr. Smith, to which they had added every thing of interest that their long and intimate connexion with Mr. Howard and his friends enabled them to obtain. Unwilling, therefore, to create a rivalry between those whose object and views were the same, though their resources were dis tinct and independent, a communication was im mediately opened with Mr. Newton Bosworth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
