Merchant's Category: Media> Books
"The Prayers of Mr Dawson are characterized by a childlike trust in the Heavenly Father and a catholic sympathy for all the wants and woes Of men; these feelings being expressed in language of sweet simplicity and great poetic beauty. Mr Dawson's prayers have been a comfort to many, in health and sickness. . ." (from the Introduction). "George Dawson (1821-1876) was an English nonconformist preacher, lecturer and activist. He was an influential voice in the calls for radical political and social reform in Birmingham, a philosophy that became known as the Civic Gospel. . .Dawson was famous during his lifetime for lecturing on a wide range of subjects from Shakespeare to German poetry, Italian history to good etiquette. He became a national figure, in demand as a lecturer throughout the country. Charles Kingsley described him as "the greatest talker in England". Dawson was a friend of Carlyle and Emerson and did a great deal to popularize their teachings, especially in his demand for a high ethical standard in everyday life and his insistence that citizenship needed a specifically Christian approach" (extracts from the Wikipedia article).
