Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Amongst those who have manifested their love to God by their commiseration for the destitute and afflicted, and whose memories have left a fragrance behind them that shall remain for ages to come, may be enrolled the name of Anthony Benezet, whose benevolent labours for the good of his fellow-creatures, in various ways, justly entitle him to the rank of an illustrious benefactor of the human race.
Yet, as Yvan Raiz, the Russian traveller, observes, Although the academies of Europe resound with praises decreed to illustrious men, the name of Benezet is not found on their list! For whom, then, he very naturally inquires, do they reserve their crowns?
Verily the great men of the earth have their reward.
