About this Item
8vo, 46 pp., disbound, a very good clean copy. Second edition, published in the same year as the first edition; both edtions are very rare (ESTC: 1st ed UK 1 copy, US only Harvard & Huntington; 2nd ed UK 3 copies, US only Union Theological Seminary). Charles Wellbeloved (1769-1858) was an English Unitarian divine and archaeologist. He was invited in November 1797 (after Belsham had declined) to succeed Thomas Barnes as divinity tutor in the Manchester academy. Barnes, an evangelical Arian, gave him no encouragement, but he did not reject the offer till February 1798; it was accepted soon after by George Walker. On Walker's resignation the trustees proposed to remove the institution to York if Wellbeloved would become its director. He agreed, and from September 1803 to June 1840 the institution was known as Manchester College, York, which eventually became Harris Manchester College, Oxford. Seller Inventory # ABE-1502876364934
