Description

Adelphi or "siblings" is an account William Cowper wrote of the last days before his brother John's death. William and John discussed spiritual blindness, the school of affliction, and God's mercies. John was a scholar educated at Cambridge who spent ten years living an outward appearance of an ordained minister but was "dissatisfied with his own views of the gospel." About ten days before his death, he was touched by a heart knowledge of the Savior that gave him a firm and unshakable peace. This volume contains many letters from John Cowper which illustrate these events. Also included are some of his poetry.

Author Biography:

William Cowper (1731-1800) was born in Berkhampstead, England. Among his distinguished ancestors, his father was Chaplin to His Majesty George the Second. Mr. Cowper's sensitive soul was an advantage to his poetry, but he also endured much distress. Rev. John Newton, the preacher at Olney, requested that he give himself to hymn writing. He wrote many other poems as well, such as "The Task" and "The Diverting History of John Gilpin."
