This is a splendid compendium of short biographies from church history covering the period from the early 18th century to mid 20th century.
It is a combination of two previous publications, and we meet here many well-known characters like Carey, Wilberforce and Elizabeth Fry, along with lesser known mortals like Ernest Presswood.
