A Pictorial Memoir of Benjamin Wills Newton by Chris W H Griffiths

This unique collection of pictorial materials and illustrations relates to Benjamin Wills Newton (1807-1899). He was an evangelical Christian leader and expositor who at times ministered to large congregations in England in the nineteenth century. He was a prolific writer.

This book includes portraits of him and his family, and a variety of memorabilia. It gives examples of his letter-writing and of his editing of books. It shows how, after his death, his written records were preserved by his private secretary, Frederick Wyatt, and his colporteur, Alfred Fry. It also gives pictures and brief accounts of some of his close associates in the later stages of his ministry. Most of this material has never before appeared in print.

This booklet is a supplement to the definitive 'Guide to the Works and Remains of Benjamin Wills Newton'. It is the fruit of many years of recovering primary material regarding him. It adds human interest to Mr Newton's life and writing, and so brings us closer to the man himself.
