Life of Joseph Rayner Stephens, Preacher and Political Orator ([1881])

by George Jacob Holyoake

My valued friend, Mr. Holyoake, has asked me to write a brief Introduction to this his book. The working-men and working-women of Lancashire and Yorkshire, among whom my uncle, Joseph Rayner Stephens, lived for over forty years, will welcome this record of their guide, teacher and champion: he still lives in the hearts and homes of thousands of our factory hands : many of the bravest and wisest of them looked up to him with loving confidence, and with admiration for his persistent advocacy of all that he believed would tend to make them better, happier, as servants of God and of man.
