Reprint of the original, first published in 1867.

Excerpt from The Annual Monitor for 1868, or Obituary of the Members of the Society of Friends in Great Britain and Ireland, for the Year 1867 It may perhaps be desirable in bringing (wit the' present volume of the annual monitor, to state, that the late Editor having, within the past year, left England for Madagascar, the editing of this twenty-sixth number has fallen into fresh hands. Care has, however, been taken, to preserve as much as possible the character of the work, which has so generally commended itself to the approval of Friends. The obituary of the past year contains a larger number of deaths, than any of the previous twelve years: at the same time the average age is high, being 55% years. Of the 367 deaths, no fewer than 210 were between the ages of 60 and 90. We have received an unprecedented number of memorials of deceased Friends - not merely describing their last hours, but exhibiting the various stages of their religious progress, and illustrating that variety of administrations, by which the Holy Spirit works in the souls of believers, and finds for all their place and service in the church and in the world. We have not dwelt on the frailties of any, though doubtless all were more or less encompassed with infirmity; but have rather sought to trace the leadings of the Divine finger, and those gifts and graces which the Lord is pleased to bestow on those who love Him. We may add, that from the press of matter so largely contributed by our friends, it was found impracticable to include six or seven other memoirs, which we should have been glad to have comprised in the present volume. An index or list of those names, to which larger or shorter notices are attached, is added; which it is believed will be found useful for reference.

Excerpt from The Annual Monitor for 1869: Or Obituary of the Members of the Society of Friends, in Great Britain and Ireland, for the Year 1868 In early manhood, this Friend felt himself called upon to labour in the vineyard of his Lord and Master; and, as if it were the work especially designed for him, he earnestly took up the cause of the oppressed African race in America. But although his labours were from that period chiefly devoted to the suppression of slavery, he had a deeply-sympathizing heart for suffering and distress of every kind; and to the close of life was anxious to devote his time and energies to the welfare of his fellow-men.
