Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Thomas Scott, the Commentator: A Memoir of His Life, With Some Account of His Principal Writings and an Estimate of His Position and Influence in the Church
One feature of the present work is the bringing out somewhat fully of Mr Scott's work at the Lock, and especially the very great service which he did the Charity by setting on foot the Asylum or Rescue Home. The shame attaching to the prominent men of his day, and especially the Lock Board, who left him in poverty, Obscurity and neglect, clearly as it is brought out in his autobiography, is dwelt on and some additional details given. A noble exception to the general run is that of Simeon, who, like a true friend, came to his rescue when he was faced with financial disaster.
