Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Times of Ralph Allen of Prior Park, Bath, Introduced by a Short Account of Lyncombe and Widcombe: With Notices of His Contemporaries, Including Bishop Warburton, Bennet of Widcombe House, Beau Nash, Etc
Our admiration is kindled, as we follow the poor Post Office boy, with no advantages but those of a clear brain and a resolute and energetic temperament, skilfully and honorably surmounting great difficulties on his road to personal suc cess; and our gratitude is excited, when we think of the conspicuous benefits which he conferred on the nation by his postal reforms; but, after all, the greatest charm connected with Allen is the marvellous charm of his personal character.
