 weaver's boy he became M.P. for Oldham {1847-1862), and he will always be remembered 

 for his association with South Place Chapel, where his Radical opinions and fame as a

 Law orator, he S2uayed, by the pouter of his eloquence, enthusiastic audiences. As a 

 politician, he was the unswerving champion of social refor7n and the cause of oppressed 

 nationalities, his most celebrated speech being in support of his Bill for National Educa- 

 tion, 1850, a Bill which anticipated many of the features of the Education Bill of our 

 oiun time. He died in 1S63. The present Life has been compiled from jnanuscript
