This is the first republication of Volume 1 of a rare three volume
set of books favoring polygamy. In 1781, when this book was first
published, the Reverend Martin Madan was the most famous clergyman
in all the world. His Chapel at the Lock Hospital was renowned for
its Sunday night concerts and his hymnal was full of majestic songs
of worship. He was the most prolific living composer of sacred
music and had long been the standard bearer for the Evangelicals.
Madan's pen had always been free of mercenary interests since he'd
been blessed with a great inheritance and yet this rich man had
spent the last thirty-five years of his life ministering to the
least beloved of society, the disease ridden prostitutes of the
Lock Hospital. The front cover features a portrait of Lock Hospital
as it appeared in the 18th century. It was built with funds raised
by Martin Madan. Madan was godfather to the famed hymn writer,
Charles Wesley and was himself the most prolific hymn composer of
his day. This is Volume 1 - In Print Again for the First Time in
over 228 years.
