The Good Lord Wharton: His Family, Life And Bible Charity is a comprehensive book that delves into the life and legacy of the influential English nobleman, Philip Wharton, 1st Duke of Wharton. The author, Bryan Dale, provides a detailed account of Wharton's family background, including his father Thomas Wharton, 1st Marquess of Wharton, and his mother Lucy Loftus. The book also outlines Wharton's personal life, including his education, political career, and his controversial conversion to Catholicism. Dale explores Wharton's involvement in the Jacobite rebellion of 1715, his exile in Europe, and his eventual return to England. One of the central themes of the book is Wharton's philanthropic efforts, particularly his establishment of the Bible Charity, which aimed to provide affordable Bibles to the poor. Dale examines the origins of this charity and its impact on English society during the early 18th century. Overall, The Good Lord Wharton: His Family, Life And Bible Charity offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a complex and influential figure in English history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the politics, religion, and social issues of the early 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
