Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life, Character, and Ministry of William Dawson: Late of Barnbow, Near Leeds "This is one of that class of works which appeal to a certain exclusive, but very extensive order of readers, and to them it will prove very acceptable. The Polemic Divine is neither more nor less than a memoir, (somewhat too lengthy, we must observe), of the late Mr. Daniel Isaac, a Wesleyan Preacher, and one of sufficient celebrity in his day and order to justify a work of the kind devoted to his memory. The work is written with care and industry, and may, as a biography, be read with interest by other persons than those devoted to the extensive sect to which the writer and the subject belong." - New Monthly Magazine, Nov. 1839, p. 431.

Book Description
Excerpt from William Dawson: The Yorkshire Farmer and Eloquent Preacher Luke Dawson stands before us in faint but clear out line, a man of strong sense though feeble constitution, single hearted, steadfast, content to do good work for small pay. Neither my father nor myself, ' said William in later life, were equally remunerated for our time and pains as agents of Sir Thomas Gascoigne. My father never had more than twelve shillings per week, and coals and candles allowed. I had twelve shillings per week till 179 3, when the wages of the colliers were raised, and then I had fifteen shillings. The colliers struck again, about a year or two after this, when another advance took place, and my wages were raised to eighteen shillings per week. Thus, my father and myself served the Gascoigne family for a period of nearly forty years, for what I have stated.' It would be small matter for wonder that the colliers struck, ' if their earnings were as small in proportion to their work as those of the agent. Luke Dawson, however, did not strike, ' and apparently did not complain, retaining his poorly-paid office to his life's end, and so discharging it as to earn the entire confidence of his employer.

Book Description
The science of the earth and the history of man, though cultivated by very different classes of specialists and in very different ways, must have their meeting-place. They must indeed not only meet, but overlap and run abreast of each other throughout nearly the whole time occupied by the existence of man on the earth. The geologist, from his point of view, studies all the stratified crust of the earth, down to the mud deposited by last year's river inundations. The historian, aided by the archæologist, has written and monumental evidence carrying him back to the time of the earliest known men, many thousands of years ago. Throughout all this interval the two records must have run more or less parallel to each other, and must be in contact along the whole line. The geologist, ascending from the oldest and lowest portions of the earth's crust, and dealing for millions of years with physical forces and the instinctive powers of animals alone, at length as he approaches the surface finds himself in contact with an entirely new agency, the free-will and conscious action of man. It is true that at first the effects of these are small, and the time in which they have been active is insignificant in comparison with that occupied by previous geological ages; but they introduce new questions which constantly grow in importance, down to those later times in which human agency has so profoundly affected the surface of the earth and its living inhabitants. Finally, the geologist is obliged to have recourse to human observation and testimony for his information respecting those modern causes to which he has to appeal for the explanation of former changes, and has to adduce effects produced by human agency in illustration of, or in contrast with, mutations in the pre-human periods. The historian, on the other hand, finds, as he passes backward into earlier ages, documentary evidence failing him, and much of what he can obtain becoming mythical, vague or uncertain, or difficult of explanation by modern analogies, until at length he is fain to have recourse to the pick-axe and spade, and to endeavour to disinter from the earth the scanty relics of primeval man, much as the geologist searches in the bedded rocks for the fossils which they contain. He has even learned to use for these earliest ages the term prehistoric, and so practically to transfer them to the domain of the archæologist and geologist.
