SynopsisExcerpt from John Newton of Olney and St. Mary Woolnoth: An Autobiography and Narrative Several memoirs of John Newton have already appeared. Why, it may be asked, publish another? It may be replied that, without disparaging unduly former biographies, the life of Newton has yet to be written; for this reason, amongst others, that the materials for an adequate memoir have only recently been accessible. They include a diary unknown to previous biographers, covering a period of fifty-seven years, and a very large correspondence, together with other documents of great value and interest, the greater part of which have never yet been published. These, together with the inheritance of traditions handed down from the friends and contemporaries of Newton himself, have come into our possession, and throw light upon many periods in the life of Newton which were previously obscure, and correct false statements and prejudices which have hitherto been current in many quarters. Hence this attempt to give a more complete history of a life so well worthy a careful record. It may be added that Mr. Newton is here made to speak as much as possible in his own person, so that, the memoir is in great part an Autobiography. The presentation of such a life as Newton's is not inopportune at the present time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
