by John Angell James
Excerpt from The Works of John Angell James, Onewhile Minister of the Church Assembling in Carrs Lane Birmingham, Vol. 17: Autobiographical
Several smaller pieces are also given with signatures and paging indicating their places in other volumes but most of them may perhaps be as fitly read in connection with the Autobiography. The Bible Society speech could scarcely be omitted after the Author's notice of it. Without the letters on the revival of religion in the United States the Author's views would not have been completely expressed. The paper in reference to Students of Divinity was written at the request of the Congregational Union, and he afterwards volunteered a letter to the same effect to the Council of New College, London. The former is reprinted at length, with the insertion of parts of the latter, properly distinguished. The passages relating to the same particulars are placed toge ther, and the reader will notice that the difference between them consists in the increased solemnity with which the more mature thoughts are conveyed or illustrated.

John Angell James was an English Nonconformist clergyman and writer, born at Blandford Forum. After seven years apprenticeship to a linen-draper in Poole, Dorset, he decided to become a preacher, and in 1802 he went to David Bogue's training institution at Gosport in Hampshire. A year and a half later, on a visit to Birmingham, his preaching was so highly esteemed by the congregation of Carrs Lane Independent chapel that they invited him to exercise his ministry amongst them; he settled there in 1805, and was ordained in May 1806. For several years his success as a preacher was comparatively small; but he became suddenly popular in about 1814, and began to attract large crowds. At the same time his religious writings, the best known of which are The Anxious Inquirer and An Earnest Ministry, acquired a wide circulation.
He was one of the founders of the Evangelical Alliance and of the Congregational Union of England and Wales. Municipal interests appealed strongly to him, and he was also for many years chairman of Spring Hill (afterwards Mansfield) College. He was also an ardent slavery abolitionist.
