A MEMOIR OF THE REV. LEGH RICHMOND [Turvey]

Legh Richmond (1772–1827) was a Church of England clergyman, specifically the rector of Turvey, Bedfordshire, and a writer. He is noted for tracts, narratives of conversion that innovated in the relation of stories of the poor and female subjects, and which were subsequently much imitated. 

This memoir provides a highly detailed biography from his ancestry and birth, through his career as a clergyman with notes on his writing, ending with his funeral and notes on his character.
