Présentation de l'éditeur
Samuel Tiike died in 1857. In i860 a Memoir, comprising his diary, memoranda, letters, etc., was printed in two volumes for the use of the family. The present biography consists mainly of selections from this memoir. Seldom has the Church known a succession, in one family, of guardians and witnesses of truth and pubhc benefactors, such as is seen in the three generations of Tukes in York William, Henry, and Samuel. The present editor, who had the advantage of a personal acquaintance with Samuel Tuke, and was present at the Yearly Meeting when he was Clerk, regards it as a high jirivilege to help to place before the public his wise thoughts and his laborious, godly life. Many may regret that the example and thoughts of such a man were not made known to the world forty years ago.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and legacy of a prominent figure within the Quaker community during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born into a devout Quaker family in York, England, the book's subject was deeply influenced by his family's unwavering commitment to their faith and their dedication to social reform. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a transformative era for the Society of Friends. The author meticulously traces the subject's formative years, highlighting the pivotal role of his parents and grandparents in shaping his character and worldview. Their emphasis on education, simplicity, and a deep personal connection with God laid the foundation for his lifelong commitment to service and philanthropy. As the story progresses, the book explores the subject's contributions to various social causes, most notably his involvement in the establishment and management of a pioneering institution for the humane treatment of individuals with mental illness. His dedication to this endeavour, along with his active participation in the anti-slavery movement and other reform efforts, exemplify the Quaker values of compassion, equality, and social justice. Through meticulous research and insightful analysis, the author paints a vivid portrait of a man whose life and work left an indelible mark on his community and beyond. The book offers a compelling testament to the transformative power of faith, family, and a dedication to improving the lives of others.
