( About the Book Biographical books, or bios, are detaile...)
About the Book Biographical books, or bios, are detailed descriptions of a person's life. A biography is more than simply the basic facts, like education, work, relationships, and death. It portrays a person's experience of major life events. A biography presents a subject's life story, emphasizing certain aspects of his or her life, and including intimate details of their experiences, which may include an analysis of their personality. Biographical works are generally non-fiction, but fictional works can also be used to portray a person's life. An in-depth form of biographical coverage is referred to as legacy writing. An authorized biography refers to a book written with the permission, cooperation, and at times, participation of the subject or the subject's heirs. An autobiography, on the other hand, is written by the person themselves, sometimes with the assistance of a collaborator or “ghostwriter”. About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

William was born on July 13, 1815 in Bath, Maine, United States, the youngest of three surviving children of William Stevens, a captain in the War of 1812, and his wife Rebecca, daughter of J. W. Bacon.
When his parents moved to Boston, young Stevens received his first education there in the city schools. At the age of fifteen he entered Phillips Academy, Andover, where he remained two years.
When his return to America after his trevelling around Europe, Stevens was called upon frequently to lecture on the missionary activities he had observed in China and the Sandwich Islands.
Though greatly improved in health, he determined as a precaution to settle in the South, and in the fall of 1836 entered the Medical College of the State of South Carolina in Charleston. The following spring he returned to Savannah to continue his studies with Dr. Edward Coppee, whose daughter, Alethea, subsequently became his wife.
In the summer he visited his home in Boston, and, deciding to finish his medical studies at Dartmouth, received the degree of M. D. from that institution in 1837. After visiting Florida, he returned to Savannah and entered a partnership with his father-in-law. His success was immediate; he was made physician and surgeon for the orphan asylum and for the Central of Georgia Railroad, and was appointed health officer for the port.
He was also elected secretary of the Georgia Medical Society and in 1840 was sent as a delegate to the National Medical Convention in Washington. Upon settling in Savannah he had joined the Georgia Hussars in order to enlarge his social acquaintanceship and to secure release from militia and jury service.
He was also being elected the first recording secretary of the Georgia Historical Society and later its librarian. He delivered the Georgia Day address before the Society in 1841, and set forth so eloquently the need for a history of the state that the Society commissioned him to write one. Accordingly, he published A History of Georgia from Its First Discovery by Europeans to the Adoption of the Present Constitution in MDCCXCVIII, the first volume appearing in 1847 and the second in 1859.
On February 26, 1843, he was ordered deacon and was appointed a missionary at Athens, Georgia, the seat of the state university. Advanced to the priesthood, January 7, 1844, he became rector of the Episcopal church in Athens. He had previously been appointed to the board of visitors of the university and elected (1843) to the new chair of oratory and belles-lettres, the duties of which he assumed, in addition to his rectorship, in January 1844.
In 1847 he was appointed a delegate to the General Convention of his Church in New York, and the next year was persuaded to accept a call to St. Andrew's Church, Philadelphia.
He visited the Holy Land and western Europe in 1857, and in the fall of 1861 was made professor of liturgics and homiletics in the Philadelphia Divinity School, established that year.
In 1862 he became assistant bishop of the diocese of Pennsylvania, and three years later, on the death of Bishop Alonzo Potter, he was made bishop. In 1868 he was given charge of the American churches in Europe, and for years thereafter he spent much time abroad, preaching in many of the churches and cathedrals of England and of other countries.
He was chosen in 1876 to preach in St. Paul's Cathedral, London, the closing sermon of the Pan-Anglican Conference.
He died in 1887.
William Bacon Stevens was instrumental in founding the Georgia Historical Society in 1839. Writing with precision and accuracy and using the documentary sources, he produced a history which has not yet been supplanted. Also he edited the first two volumes of the Collections of the Georgia Historical Society (1840, 1842). Besides his historical works, he wrote a great many books and pamphlets on religious subjects, the best known of which are: The Bow in the Cloud; or, Covenant Mercy for the Afflicted (1854); The Parables of the New Testament Practically Unfolded (1855); Home Service: A Manual (1856); The Lord's Day (1857). Stevens was instrumental in founding Lehigh University. He was also a trustee of the University of Pennsylvania from 1866 until his death.

Stevens, who was always of a religious bent, soon after he began his medical career found himself haunted by the feeling that he should enter the ministry. Though born into a Congregationalist family, he was early attracted by the Episcopal Church, and in Savannah he joined that communion.
He was a member of the Georgia Medical Society and of the Georgia Historical Society in 1839.
Stevens was simple, modest, and unpretending, a forceful orator, tall and graceful in appearance.
His first wife, Alethea Coppee, bore him three children. After her death he married, in 1869, Anna, daughter of J. N. Conyngham of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and by her had a son and a daughter.
