Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Howard, the Philanthropist, and His Friends
Popular Lives of varied merit have been written by Dixon, Field, and Taylor and views of Howard's services are furnished by Mr. Bellows and Dr. Guy. Howard's friends and followers deserve to have their names associated with his, and therefore brief notices respecting them are incorporated in this volume. His friends, for the most part, are little known; but I have had the good fortune to gain in formation respecting those of them who were ministers of religion, from a large collection of Funeral Sermons in the library of New College. Of Mr. Whitbread, Howard's great friend, I have learned much from Lady Isabella Whitbread, who most kindly placed before me at Southill, family documents, throwing light on his beautiful character and also upon matters relating to Howard himself and his unhappy son.
