Andrew Reed (1787-1862) was a Congregational minister, an energetic
philanthropist and a highly successful fundraiser. He began to
study theology at Hackney Academy in 1807 and was ordained minister
in 1811, serving in this role until 1861. He helped to found
numerous charitable institutions, most notably the London Orphan
Asylum, the Asylum for Fatherless Children, the Asylum for Idiots,
the Infant Orphan Asylum, and the Hospital for Incurables. In
addition to his charitable work, he found time to write. He
compiled a hymn book, and published sermons, devotional books and
an account of his visit to America in 1834, when he received a
Doctorate of Divinity from Yale. This biography of Reed, compiled
by two of his sons, was first published in 1863. It describes his
many achievements, using selections from Reed's own journals, and
includes a list of his publications.
