Beschreibung

The Dairyman's Daughter was an early 19th century religious track about the life of Elizabeth Wallbridge, The track empathized her religious experiences. Her family were servants in England. Leigh Richmond was a curate in a nearby Parish and authored this book. In her middle 20's Elizabeth heard a sermon that changed her life. Her became an avid scholar of the Bible. Some writers have felt that "The Dairyman's Daughter" has had a more extensive influence and a wider circulation than any other similar publication of that period. The book begins as follows. . "It is a delightful employment to discover and trace the operations of Divine grace, as they are manifested in the dispositions and lives of God's real children. It is peculiarly gratifying to observe how frequently, among the poorer classes of mankind, the sunshine of mercy beams upon the heart, and bears witness to the image of Christ which the Spirit of God has impressed thereupon. Among such, the sincerity and simplicity of the Christian character appear unencumbered by those obstacles to spirituality of mind and conversation, which too often prove a great hindrance to those who live in the higher ranks. "

Autor

Legh Richmond was a writer and priest in the Church of England who lived from 1772 to 1827. He is known for writing tracts, which were stories of change that were the first to combine stories of poor people and women, and which were then copied a lot. He was also known for a collection of letters to his kids that were very influential. They showed a strong evangelical view of childhood at the time, and they were sometimes used as examples for how parents should talk to their kids and live with their families, like by writers who didn't agree with Richmond's methods. Henry Richmond, a doctor and professor, and his wife Catherine Atherton had him on January 29, 1772, in Liverpool. Thomas was their only child. He went to Trinity College, Cambridge, for his education. In June 1797, he was made a deacon, and in July of that same year, he got his MA. Two days after getting married to Mary Chambers on July 24, 1797, he was given joint charge of St. Mary's Church, Brading and St. John the Baptist Church, Yaverland on the Isle of Wight. In February 1798, he was made a priest.
