Synopsis
Excerpt from Joshua Rowntree
The suggestion has been made to me that I should write a few lines by way of preface to this memorial volume, which contains in epitom'e the story of the life of a lifelong friend, something of what he was, an intimation of what he aspired to be, and the inevitable conclusion that there was much that men ignored in him', even his friends and lovers who wished most to know.

This book offers a fascinating look into the life of Joshua Rowntree, a prominent Quaker figure who lived in the latter half of the 19th century and the early 20th century. The author delves into Rowntreeââ â¢s upbringing, his passion for social justice, and his tireless work in the realm of politics and social reform.
