The Bristol Orphan Houses, Ashley Down: The History Of The New Orphan Houses On Ashley Down, Bristol, Under The Direction Of George Muller (1871) is a comprehensive historical account of the establishment and operation of the New Orphan Houses in Bristol, England. The book was written by William Elfe Tayler and first published in 1871. The New Orphan Houses were founded by George Muller, a Christian evangelist and philanthropist, in the mid-19th century. The houses provided shelter, food, clothing, education, and spiritual guidance to thousands of orphaned and destitute children over the years. Tayler's book details the origins of the project, including Muller's religious beliefs and his vision for the orphanages. The author also describes the fundraising efforts and construction of the buildings, as well as the daily routines and activities of the children who lived there. Throughout the book, Tayler emphasizes the Christian values that underpinned the orphanages, such as faith, prayer, and charity. He also includes numerous testimonials from former residents and staff members, highlighting the positive impact of the orphanages on their lives. Overall, The Bristol Orphan Houses, Ashley Down provides a fascinating glimpse into a unique and influential social experiment of the Victorian era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
