Memoir of Daniel Appleton White is a biographical account of the life and legacy of Daniel Appleton White, written by George Ware Briggs and published in 1864. White was a prominent figure in the Boston community in the mid-19th century, known for his philanthropy, his involvement in the abolitionist movement, and his leadership in the Unitarian Universalist church. The memoir begins with a brief overview of White's family background and early life, including his education and his early career as a merchant. The bulk of the book, however, focuses on White's later years, during which he became increasingly involved in social and political activism. The memoir covers White's involvement in the abolitionist movement, including his work with the American Anti-Slavery Society and his participation in the Underground Railroad. It also discusses his leadership in the Unitarian Universalist church, including his role as a trustee of Harvard College and his involvement in the establishment of the Meadville Theological School. Throughout the book, Briggs paints a portrait of White as a man of great integrity and compassion, deeply committed to the causes he believed in. He also provides insight into the broader social and political context of mid-19th century Boston, including the debates over slavery and the role of religion in society. Overall, Memoir of Daniel Appleton White offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a prominent figure in 19th century Boston, as well as a window into the social and political climate of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
