Samuel Wright (1683-1746), "an eminent English Dissenter...He was pastor at Blackfriars, London, from 1707 to 1734, when he removed to a meeting-house in Carter Lane, Southwark." - M'Clintock & Strong. This book of Wright's was first published in 1715.
Thomas Hawies (1734-1820), Anglican evangelical minister, educated at Oxford. "Although a leading figure in the Evangelical Revival and the awakening to the concern for missions which followed, Thomas Haweis has been, until very recent years, and almost forgotten man....[his] pastoral work at Aldwincle (1764-1809) and at Bath (1809-1820) as well as his itinerant work, are worthy examples of evangelical churchmanship. For years Haweis was closely connected with the Countess of Huntingdon and her Connexion." - Roberts, Revival Literature: An Annotated Bibliography, note on no. 2649, Haweis's Impartial and Succinct History.
