Synopsis

Nicholas Ferrar, Two Lives: By His Brother John And By Doctor Jebb (1855) is a biographical book that tells the story of Nicholas Ferrar, a 17th-century Englishman who was known for his piety and philanthropy. The book is written by J.E.B. Mayor and includes two different accounts of Ferrar's life: one by his brother John and another by Doctor Jebb. The first account, written by Ferrar's brother John, provides a personal and intimate look at Ferrar's life, from his childhood to his death. John describes Ferrar's early years as a successful businessman and his eventual decision to retire from the world and devote himself to religious pursuits. He also details Ferrar's founding of the religious community at Little Gidding, where he and his family lived a life of prayer, study, and service to others.The second account, written by Doctor Jebb, provides a more objective and scholarly perspective on Ferrar's life and work. Jebb examines Ferrar's contributions to the religious and cultural life of England, including his support of the arts and his efforts to promote the Anglican Church. He also discusses Ferrar's role in the political and social events of his time, including his involvement in the Gunpowder Plot and his relationship with King Charles I.Overall, Nicholas Ferrar, Two Lives: By His Brother John And By Doctor Jebb (1855) offers a comprehensive and fascinating look at the life of a remarkable man who made significant contributions to his community and his country.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
