This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

(The annexed account of the eloquent minister of the gt Mp...)
The annexed account of the eloquent minister of the gt Mpel who delivered the following pathetic exhortations, as th Spirit gave him utterance, appeared in the Gentlemen s Magazine for 1773, under the signature of A Lover of IV ut Kand Virtue, To commemorate the virtues of great aad emL Bent men, who have been honorable in their day, is a tribute due to their memory. A tribute which sensible men pay from emotions of respectful gratitude ;and from a hope that it may prove an incenie to the living, to emulate their virtues. Of this class the late Mr. Samuel Fothergill,. of Warrington, an eminent preacher among the ttiaakers, may with great justice be ranked. I knew him well, and had the happiness of his occasional acquaintance ;I call it the happiness, because I never enjoyed the company of any person from whom. I received more real satisfaction ;and however diversified with affliction, the future part of my life may prove, I shall never remember those hours I have spent with him, but with peculiar pleasure. He was an happy compound of the Gentleman and the Christian; the virtues and amiable qualities of each character, being admirably blended in him.

(Excerpt from Eleven Discourses: Delivered Extempore, at S...)
Excerpt from Eleven Discourses: Delivered Extempore, at Several Meeting-Houses of the People Called Quakers He was an happy compound of the Gentleman and the Christian; the virtues and amiable qualities of each character, being admirably blended in him. Graceful in his deportment, easy and affable in his manner, he commanded both respect and love: he possessed natural abilities far superior to the generality of mankind, and improved them to the utmost of his power. Well read both in books and men, his studies did not terminate in barren speculation; but the great truths of religion were deeply implanted in his heart, and beamed forth illustriously in a benevolent and truly Christian conduct. As a member of civil society he was exceedingly useful, filling up the social and relative duties of life with great propriety. Blameless in his manners, kind, charitable, and ready on all occasions to devote his time and talents to promote the best of all causes, the good of mankind. - He lived beloved, and his loss is deeply deplored by all who had the happiness of knowing his worth. As a preacher, he was far superior to most who fill up that station. Sound in the important doctrines of the Christian faith, he endeavoured to promote them universally, with the greatest energy of language, and the most persuasive eloquence.

He was the sixth son of John and Margaret Fothergill, well-to-do Quakers of considerable means at Carr End, Wensleydale, Yorkshire. He was born in November 1715.
He was educated at Briggflats, near Sedbergh, and afterwards at a school at Sutton in Cheshire, kept by his uncle, Thomas Hough. At the age of seventeen he was apprenticed to a Quaker shopkeeper at Stockport.
Foreign some years he seems to have passed through much mental trouble, and it was not until 1736 that he was accepted as a Quaker minister. Number certificate to travel appears to have been issued to him until 1739. In this year he pastorally visited the Friends in Wales and the west of England, and in the following year those in Yorkshire and Durham.
Early in 1744, he visited Ireland.
He rode 180 miles to visit one isolated family, and, from poverty, had occasionally to go without food himself to provide for his horse. He laboured to reconcile the colonists and the Indians.
He was part of a circle that encouraged tax resistance, which was at that time a very controversial stand among English Friends, but which, partially through his efforts on his return, became more acceptable. On his return to England he organised a subscription for the relief of the poverty occasioned by the scarcity of employment round Warrington during the winter of 1756, and resumed his ministerial work until his incessant labours caused a severe illness.
He never completely recovered, and was afterwards mainly occupied in attending to his business as a tea merchant, and in some literary work which he never completed.
In 1760 he was appointed one of a committee to visit all the quarterly and other meetings in the kingdom, and in 1762 he visited most of the Quaker meetings in Ireland. From this time till his death he was unable to take any active part in the affairs of the Society of Friends, and his later years were passed in great suffering. He died at Warrington in June 1772, and was buried in the Friends" burial-ground at Penketh, Lancashire.
Fothergill was well read in books, and a keen student of men and manners.
He is described as having been dignified, courteous, grave, and yet affable.
